The Healing Power of Empathy - at The Anchor of Hull (MA)

September 24, October 1 & 8, 7:00 pm to 8:15 pm

What if being heard was healing?

We all need understanding, connection, and acceptance—especially when life is hard. Empathy responds to these deep needs. It is more than being nice or saying the right thing. It’s being compassionately present with ourselves and others in ways that foster safety, connection, and healing.

Empathy is a skill that can be cultivated. Together, we can grow our capacities to be empathically present to ourselves and others.

This three-session experiential workshop series is a space to explore, give, and receive empathy.

Together, we will explore:

• Offering ourselves empathy and compassion
• Being empathically present to others
• How connection and relationship can positively affect our nervous systems—and why empathy can be healing

September 24: Self-Empathy

October 1: Empathy with Others

October 8: The Healing Power of Empathy

All are welcome. There is no fee. However, all who participate will have a chance to contribute toward the cost of the workshop. 

The three sessions build on each other. It is recommended, but not required, that you participate in all three.

There will be opportunities to grow your empathy skills through practice in between sessions.
