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!
