All workshops are 6:30-8pm and take place at the Evolve Academy of Conscious Learning.

Practical Empathy is a 3-part workshop series in functional woo for empaths and other folks whose emotional bodies seem as absorbant as a paper towel.

It exists because as an artist and creative coach, I am up to my armpits in empaths (and I love it). I don't think it's an accident that the creative life and the empathic individual are a natural by-occurrence of each other. And you may have noticed, there is very little support or tools available for navigating this that won't make your eyes roll out of your head to read, or try to paint you as a victim.

You don't have to live alone, be a hermit, never go to parties, and wrap yourself in cotton wool. You do not have to live in a perpetual state of defense. You can enjoy, celebrate, and utilize your sublime sensitivity in a way that is healthy. Delightful. Juicy. Delicious.

These workshops are not about theory, they are about action. Plan to leave you with your feet firmly on the ground and with a few immediately actionable tools for managing your beautiful, ultra-absorbant, spongey emotional body. We will discuss:

• what is hyperempathy and do you have it (spoiler alert, you do)
• how to tell the difference between what is yours and what you are absorbing from other people
• how to clear your emotional field of other people's residual energy immediately
• powerful shortcuts to centering in case you don't have 5 years to meditate every day
• ways to strengthen your boundaries so you can live your life without moving into a cave in the Himalayas
• how to use your empathy purposefully and powerfully in mutually beneficial connection with others

Each workshop will build on what we have learned the week before, so it is recommended that you attend all three for best results. A brief review will be provided at the beginning of every workshop.
