how are you about the upcoming SF and Berkeley rallies.

This is a core practice that we do and build on at the empathy tent. We want everyone to become comfortable with it so that you can listen, give and get support, be able to facilitate an empathy circle and be able to use active listening to mediate conflicts.

Topic: What is a feeling of concern, stress, anxiety, or fear you have? Or whatever is alive for you now?

* Any Experiences with Hosting Empathy Circles?
