Offer yourself compassion and kindness by acknowledging your feelings and concerns. Talk to yourself like you would a dear family member or friend who is upset or concerned. Being kind to yourself when you’re struggling can help you to accept your current circumstances without becoming overwhelmed by them.  In this class you will be given steps to help remember our common humanity and that we are all interconnected. Life is a little easier when we experience empathy can compassion—both when we give it and when we receive it.  In this workshop we will discuss some ways that people develop empathy and compassion, especially through intent listening. We will also share stories about our own experiences with empathy and compassion.
