Join us for an Empathy Circle and Tour on Sundays
11 am PT at The Empathy Center 1964 Las Canoas Rd Santa Barbara
Empathy Circles are the Empathy Centers foundational practice where we take turns speaking and practicing reflective listening in small groups. Join us most Sundays for community building where you can learn more about the center, share conversations and visions, explore how you might like to be involved or  simply have space to share whatever else is on your heart and mind!

Every two months we host a FREE facilitator training at the Empathy Center. This is where you can learn how to facilitate the Empathy Circles and become a facilitator. Once you are a trained facilitator you can use this practice to build more empathy in your life and the world. You can become a part of the facilitation team at the center, hold your own circles in personal or professional settings or apply what you've learned in many other ways.
