The Empathy Circle practice not only hones empathy but also fosters a range of valuable skills\, such as communication and conflict management skills\, making it a powerful tool for personal growth\, conflict resolutions and meaningful dialogue.\nThe Empathy Circle was developed by Edwin Rutsch\, founder and director of The Empathy Center\, based on the work of psychologist Carl Rogers. The four core values of the Empathy Circle are empathy\, mutuality\, openness and caring.\nAbout the facilitator:\nJanna is an acupuncturist and herbalist\, and teaches mind science in New York City.
