An Afternoon of Empathy – Nelson / Tasman

October 2, 2021 By Irma Jager

I’m offering an opportunity to come together and give and receive empathy.


Empathy functions as a pressure release valve of sorts. When we’re in pain, getting heard can relieve the pressure we feel inside. After receiving empathy, people are more connected to what is important to them and they have a lower emotional charge.

 
My guess is that most of you could do with a bit (a lot?) of empathy right now. This afternoon is open to anyone. I will use the first hour to share what empathy is (and also: what it isn’t!) and how we can practice. Then we will go into small groups to experience empathy.
 
Let me know if you want to join by replying to this email . The venue will be somewhere between Mapua and Motueka.
 
Cost is $25 per person. I will bring afternoon tea, maybe even a snack 😁

“Our ability to offer empathy can allow us to stay vulnerable, defuse potential violence, help us hear the word ‘no’ without taking it as a rejection, revive lifeless conversation, and even hear the feelings and needs expressed through silence.”

– Marshall B. Rosenberg, PhD.
