We all need a space to be heard without judgment. Empathy Circle is that place.

Each month, we practice NVC-style empathy in small groups. One person shares something they're working through. Everyone else listens and reflects back what they hear—the feelings, the needs underneath. Not advice. Not solutions. Just presence.

What You Get from Receiving Empathy:
- Clarity about what you're actually feeling and needing
- Release of emotional tension
- The experience of being truly heard

What You Get from Offering Empathy:
- Deeper listening and attunement skills
- The chance to support someone meaningfully
- Authentic connection
- A break from your own head

What Happens
We start with a brief intro to the practice (no experience needed). Then we break into small groups where each person gets time to share while others practice empathy. We keep the group small so everyone gets attention.

Bring something real from your life. Bring your willingness to listen and be listened to.
