SUMMARY:Empathy Circle - Bren Hardt\, CNVC Certified Trainer
DESCRIPTION:Empathy\, also called “Attuned Listening”\, is both a gift to you and a gift to others. Empathy enlarges our understanding of ourselves and others and awakens compassion where judgment and separation once existed. I cannot imagine the needed world transformation happening without more of us developing our capacity for giving and receiving empathy. \nSo please join me\, Bren Hardt\, CNVC Certified Trainer\, and others in a community of practice on Zoom every Saturday\, 9 am to 10:30 am Central Time (Texas\, USA).  \nInvite your friends to join you. Periodic donations are appreciated on a gift economy basis. \nClick here to register!

SUMMARY:The Essentials of Meaninful Connection
DESCRIPTION:A 7-Session Practice in Truth\, Choice & Interdependence\nSeven evenings. Seven principles. A gentle\, rigorous practice in living more honestly with ourselves and more fully with one another. \n\n \n\nThis is an invitation into a slower way of being together — to practice the kind of honesty that holds care\, the kind of choice that honors freedom\, and the kind of connection that doesn’t require us to disappear. \nEach evening\, we sit with one principle. We don’t rush. We don’t perform. We practice. \nBrought to you by Power of Compassion and Aya Caspi of Reclaiming Life NVC \n \n✦ \n\n \nThe Curriculum\nThe Seven Principles\nEach principle holds a tension — two truths that often feel like opposites\, until practice reveals how they belong together. \nI.Asking fully for what we want while letting go of having to have it.\nII.Ever growing our inner freedom while stepping fully into interdependence.\nIII.Reclaiming power while fully embracing our vulnerability.\nIV.Walking towards radical truth-telling without compromising care.\nV.Not taking responsibility for other people’s experience while taking full responsibility for the impact of our choices.\nVI.Understanding other people’s experience without having to agree.\nVII.Persisting in inviting what we want while holding choice sacred.\n★ One principle per evening — sat with\, spoken about\, and practiced together over seven weeks.\n \n✦\n \nWhat to Expect\nThe Shape of Each Evening\n◌ Arrive.\n We begin in stillness — a brief grounding so you can land in the room and in yourself.\n✿ Explore.\n We open the evening’s principle together — through teaching\, story\, and reflection.\n⟡ Practice.\n We move into small-group exercises and shared experimentation. The principle becomes lived\, not just understood.\n \n✦\n \nLogistics\nSessions & Schedule\nSeven consecutive weekly sessions. Come to all seven if you can — the practice deepens session by session. \n\nBegins:  Tuesday\, August 11\, 2026 \nTime:  7:00 – 9:00 PM CDT\, weekly \nFormat:  Online via Zoom \nContribution:  Sliding scale $350 – $600 \nScholarships:  Scholarships are available. \nThe Seven Evenings \n1. Asking fully & letting go \n2. Inner freedom & interdependence \n3. Power & vulnerability \n4. Radical truth & care \n5. Releasing & owning responsibility \n6. Understanding without agreeing \n7. Persistence & sacred choice \n\n \n✦\n \nRegister\nReserve Your Place\nFill out the form below and we’ll be in touch with confirmation\, payment details\, and everything you need to begin. \nRegister here\n \n\nPower of Compassion \nQuestions?
