A NEW LEARNING JOURNEY FOR PARENTS: FOSTERING A CULTURE OF EMPATHY

How might we foster a culture of empathy at home where we can see, acknowledge and connect with each other beyond our differences?

This is a 3-part learning series where we will unpack:

Session 1: What is empathy and what are empathy blockers? (SEPT 2)

In this session, we will unpack what empathy means and why it is important. We will also cover the different empathy blockers that instantly promote disconnection.?

Session 2: The importance of recognizing our feelings and needs (SEPT 9)

In this session, we will tackle the importance of having the language to define our feelings and needs and how this can help us connect with others.?

Session 3: Hearing the beauty behind the "No" (SEPT 30)

In this session, we will explore the 4 chairs and how using empathy and compassion for ourselves and for the other can help navigate tension and conflict at home.?

In this learning series, we will focus on how nonviolent communication (from the work of Dr. Marshall Rosenberg) can support parents in fostering a culture of empathy at home. Nonviolent Communication or Compassionate Communication is a form of interpersonal communication inspired by compassion and solidarity. It helps to improve relations and to act with practical and effective means to promote peace.

This DONATE WHAT YOU CAN workshop is a 3 part learning journey. Please do sign up here only when you can commit to all sessions.?

DATES: September 2 & 9, and 30 from 9:30-11:00AM CET
