Ben is wanting to bring empathy circles into his local XR group in the UK.. He finds it hard to start one if people are not familiar with it. So the question is how to get started and initiate it? There is a certain resistance in starting a new practice. People need a positive experience to feel their ideas are heard. There is some apprehension among people in taking part
How to bring it into a new group?

View video On Facebook or On YouTube (2020-04-17) Karolina is doing an update of her and Marta's Empathy Circle training with the Extinction Rebellion in Australia. She talks about the training process. Gives, tips and tricks and co-facilitation. . It gives small steps training. Then you facilitate your own empathy circle and create your own facilitator support group. The training, gives templates, website link's, recordings. There is a collection of names, descriptions and locations to create a network of facilitators. The first cohort is taking off. They are starting their own circles. XR Global Support Team, has a sub-circle and they offer training to whoever wants them.. We started talking with them about doing regular training. ![]() ![]() Hi... Just listened to Marta's piece here and maybe this point comes up later on in the call...its one that is on my mind. For me I think it's really important to emphasis the beauty and simplicity of this particular kind of empathy circle process. There are many ways we can hold sharing or empathy circles, and many names we can give them. Some require a particular kind of training. What's great about this one, is that it doesn't! There is little doubt that the support offered to each other by the facilitators is invaluable and no doubt things come up from time to time, as with everything else. At the last xri regen call quite a few people were slow to want to facilitate because they said they don't have the training and had the understanding that some form of training needed to be undertaken. My understanding is that the training for this method is attending an empathy circle. Is that right? And that what we need is a peer support group for facilitators? Id also like to keep empathy circles going in Ireland and feel people need encouragement and confidence. ![]() Edwin Rutsch Sinéad , Glad you mentioned that. I hope to use your quote on that. ”There are many ways we can hold sharing or empathy circles, and many names we can give them. Some require a particular kind of training. What's great about this one, is that it doesn't! “ One aspect of the Empathy Circle is that it is relatively easy and someone can facilitate it by just seeing the introductory material and doing it once. Actually, you don’t even need to have done it, just see the material and follow the steps. We need to explain that better and not make it feel like one needs a lot of training to do it. Or at least the basic process. Any ideas on how to support people in creating peer facilitation support groups? I think we can help people to connect and support each other in peer facilitation support groups. ![]() ![]() Empathy Circle Facilitators Online Support Group: Report by Karolina Kubiak View Video On Facebook or On YouTube
