Building a Culture of Empathy Greetings,
friends. Here's the second issue of the Newsletter. Hopefully I'll be able
to start sending it out every couple weeks or so. I've got a new
t-shirt printed that says, "Tell me about Empathy", so my photo will
be changing soon. I find my self thinking less and less about the political
labels such as, progressive or conservative and focusing more on the values
themselves. I look forward to hearing from you.
Warmly, Edwin Rutsch |

Join the Next Empathy Cafe Planning Meeting We are now planning the next Empathy Cafe meetings, the goal being to contribute to Building a Culture of Empathy and Compassion by producing a series of monthly Empathy Cafes, consisting of a presentation by an 'empathy expert' speaker followed by a World Cafe style discussion forum. This is a way to develop support for empathy in our community by creating a space for personal growth, education, networking, community organizing and responsible social action. Our last Empathy Healthcare Cafe generated a lot of positive energy. We need to keep it growing.
Visit the
meeting page for more details.
I hope you'll join the organizing team for producing the next Empathy Cafés. |

New Empathy Experts Webpage
I've put together a webpage with a
growing list of 'Empathy
Experts'. These are people doing social, academic and scientific work and/or
who have written books, etc. on the theme. This page has a collection of around
50 people so far. I would like to interview as many of these experts as possible
for my documentary project. Check the list and let me know if someone should be
added.
I recently went to
Jeremy’s talk in Sonoma, CA on January 24th and videotaped it. The video is
about 1 hour and 20 minutes with Q & A. It’s been uploaded to Youtube, but his
office asked I hold off making it public until the publisher OKs it. Hope that
happens soon. I had a few minutes to talk with Jeremy while I was miking him for
audio and later when he was signing my copy of his book. He was quite interested
in the empathy documentary project and I'm contacting his staff to see how we
can collaborate. He also mentioned that Huffington Post will be doing a
month of discussions based on his book. So keep an eye out for that.
