Empathy Team: "Gulf of
Mexico Talk + Empathy Circle + Open House
The Empathy Team deployed on Saturday,
July
17th from 3-6 pm in Berkeley, to empathize with the feelings and needs
alive
in relation to the spill.
Welcome to the Empathy Team Open House
Author Floyd Earl Smith gave a brief talk on
the spill’s origins and effects, attempts to cap it, and possible
outcomes for the Gulf region and beyond. Then we enjoyed experiential
small group self-expression with empathy (in the nonviolent
communication tradition). There was also a presentation by team members
on the team's story. The event ended with a potluck and a showing
of videos on empathy by Edwin Rutsch.
