Empathy cafés are a connective community building activity that practices reflective listening. In a small group of 3-4 people, take turns listening in response to a prompting question. You will learn to listen out for, and hear the other person, reflecting what they said, which can be helpful in resolving conflict, and gives the listener the opportunity to see the speaker's perspective. Reflective listening helps the speaker to feel seen and heard and can support your nervous system to relax and it's truly easy to learn.
This event, in partnership with Benalla Sustainable Futures Group, is being facilitated by Rachel DeSumma, and a team of Empathy Cafe facilitators.
We are committed to building stronger, connected communities with skills to thrive and relate well with each other.
The skills you learn at an Empathy café can continue to be used in your relations with friends, colleagues and with the broader community. Once you start empathic listening you won't want to stop!
This is the first of a series of six monthly Empathy cafes with a different prompting question each session.
