Wednesday, May 28th: Self-Empathy Deep Dive
4pm PT / 5pm MT / 6pm CT / 7pm ET / midnight GMT
Monthly, I host an open-to-all 90-minute session where you are invited to join me for nonviolent communication practice. I intend to provide this ongoing practice with irregular days and time to support equitable options! You are encouraged to bring anyone you’ve been wanting to expose to NVC that is not in shared community spaces yet (such as the Heal Your Way Forward Collective with Check Your Privilege where we have regular Direct Compassionate Communication practice opportunities).
THIS MONTH’S FOCUS:
In this session, we’ll honor Mental Health Awareness by doing a self-empathy deep dive.
Let’s be real…it’s f***ing hard right now! Most of us are swirling out of control and barely hanging on. We’re reactive and lashing out, unable or unwilling to process our anger and grief making us extremely messy in our relating and it ain’t getting easier any time soon.
Oof. ~deep breath~
Let’s try to slow down together. Connect to what is alive in us by giving ourselves some empathy (and being in community to receive some reflection from others!). This self-empathy pause helps fortifies you, so that you may find the capacity to bring this compassion to others.
By acknowledging your feelings present and connecting them to the core needs you so desperately long for right now, you can then begin to craft some requests of yourself and as well as others.
