Empathy Café Meetings

Goal: Contribute to Building a Culture of Empathy and Compassion by producing a series of monthly Empathy Cafes, consisting of a presentation by an empathy expert speaker followed by a World Cafe style discussion forum. This is a way to develop a community to support empathy in our society by creating a space for personal growth, education, networking, community organizing and responsible social action. In the meetings we explore the experiences of empathy and compassion and look for ways to foster, support and encourage these values in all parts of society.

a sense of empathy - is one that I find myself appreciating more and more as I get older. It is at the heart of my moral code, and it is how I understand the Golden Rule - not simply as a call to sympathy or charity, but as something more demanding, a call to stand in somebody else's shoes and see through their eyes. Like most of my values, I learned about empathy from my mother. 
Barack Obama, Audacity of Hope
