Building Balanced Empathy is a course lasting 6 hours designed to explore empathy,
vulnerability and emotional resilience.
We examine what causes us to “burn-out”, to feel emotionally overwhelmed and conversely
what leads us to completely disconnect from others during times of stress.
We explore how much do we truly feel and understand the experiences and emotions of
other people.
We learn techniques that allow us to relate to others in a way that’s beneficial to them and to
us.
Expect to be active. If you want to achieve true transformation you’ll need to commit to fully
engaging with learning materials and exercises. As well as a Learning Log, participants can
integrate the techniques afterwards using a series of free audio reflections available from our
website.
The workshop will help you to achieve:
a more calm and focused, balanced mind
better self-understanding and real empathy for others
increased awareness of what throws us out of balance allowing for wiser choices
stronger emotional resilience
closer, more nurturing relationships with family, friends and co-workers
more compassion for ourselves and others
Background
Building Balanced Empathy is a new course drawn from The a.r.t. of Fulfilment program which is a 30 hour course created by FDCW. Program content is rooted in Buddhist philosophy and psychology and is supported by scientific research, Western philosophy and psychology, as well as other wisdom traditions. It was developed by an international team with academic-level expertise in Buddhism, Western philosophy and psychology, contemporary science and experiential learning methodology. Its creation was inspired by
the Dalai Lama’s Mind & Life Dialogues.
