Empathy Injection

A practice-based workshop on Empathy and a community building session for Londoners of all kinds. This workshop is based on NVC-informed empathy, and contextualises this within wider empathy research and neuroscience. “Have you ever had the experience when someone totally gets you, and you feel safe, energised and grateful for being understood? This is EMPATHY affecting your nervous system, coursing through your body. It’s caused by someone seeing and acknowledging your reality. You can achieve it again and again through certain strategies of listening and presence. It’s game-changing. That’s the ‘Empathy injection’.” With Empathy Injection you can:

• Experience feeling understood and energised.
• Understand your relationship dynamics
• Clear the things that are blocking action
• Discover a wealth of options
• Become a more creative thinker

Topics include:

• The neuroscience of empathy
• Scary honesty
• Empathy for ... trying and trying and not getting anywhere
• Tools for tense situations
• Understanding jealousy

This not a lecture, come and interact! Sessions will involve empathic listening and you will come away feeling all zingy and zesty from having a boosting dose of empathy that will support you in your daily life. Come and get your regular dose of empathy. We do a brief introduction, then get stuck into some input which always includes an aspect of empathy (eg a tool for tense situations, why celebrating glues relationships together, empathy for loss or fear, the neuroscience of empathy), then we practice something, then have a break and have a similar structure after the break. Input then practice. Then we close. Please Reserve a place https://www.eventbrit...­ and pay what you can on the door. I suggest a sliding scale of £15/ £20/ £25 / £50.
