CCO Empathy Circles Facilitation Training (ECFT)
Empathy Circles are a new addition to the Compassion Course. They offer an opportunity for participants to connect and practice empathy in a structured environment. Breakouts vary in size from dyads to small groups.
To support participants who are interested in facilitating their own empathy circles, CCO Facilitators Doreen Poulin and Cathan Kabrelian are offering a 6-week Empathy Circles Facilitator Training starting in November.
