This is an Open Thread / Coffee Hour and all topics of conversation are welcome. Today is a simple open thread. I’m away from my computer all day, so I could use some help in posting the community links stub.
How are you doing today? What is for dinner? What is on your mind? All topics of conversation are welcome. If you are new to Street Prophets please introduce yourself in the comments below.
For everyone’s amusement I’m posting a video of last Saturday’s Empathy Center Santa Barbara Visioning Empathy Circle. Here is a direct link: https://youtu.be/sLnA7jpyssg?si=8UnglsTs0e3vuEsU. In the video posted below those assembled, including myself with the headphones on in the center, talked about how the Santa Barbara center could be used to build a culture of empathy.
Next week the staff at Santa Barbara is conducting a in person training session teaching those present on how to be a Empathy Circle Facilitator. So, I have the opportunity to lead the on line Santa Barbara Visioning Empathy Circle. A few weeks ago I completed a one year training course to be certified by the center as a Facilitator. So, I’m prepared to lead the session.
If you are able to connect with Zoom and have 90 minutes to spare you are welcome to attend. This empathy circle will be on November 18, 2023 at 1PM PST at this Zoom Link: https://zoom.us/j/9896109339. One of the focuses of the session will be to teach attendees how an empathy circle works.
(I would like to remind everyone that one should be careful about clicking on embeds such as below. That is why I provided the direct link above.)
