Empathy Intensive Trainings

 

Creating an Empathic Support System to Sustain You through Your Learning Journey

“Empathy is the exploration of our human experience - our feelings - our needs - our life energy emerging and guiding us” - THOm bond

This intensive is designed to help participants establish a solid empathy practice and create the kind of empathic support network that sustains long-term growth in NVC. Throughout the training, you'll receive guidance and practice in integrating empathy, not just as a skill but as a way of seeing and relating to the world.

We’ll explore how to “listen beyond words,” increase our capacity to be present with others, and focus our awareness on feelings and needs. You'll also learn to cultivate an intention rooted in curiosity, understanding, and connection, distinct from the habitual impulse to fix, advise, or rescue.

Because feelings and needs are the focus of empathy, our relationship to them directly shapes the quality of our presence. Through guided exercises and partner work, we’ll deepen our connection to these core human experiences - what we often refer to as “life energy” - and expand our capacity to offer meaningful, attuned empathy to others.
