This is an Open Thread / Coffee Hour and all topics of conversation are welcome. What is for dinner? How are you doing? What is on your mind. If you are new to Street Prophets please introduce yourself below in a comment. Today's Coffee Hour is brought to you by Empathy Circle Values.

Empathy Circle Café. Join us on Zoom every Thursday at 6PM PT for an opportunity to be heard, understood, and improve your listening skills.

Last week I invited Street Prophet’s readers to sign up for our Empathy Circle Facilitator training course. <Link to last weeks Street Prophets open thread.> This is a free course that starts on July 6.

There is a prerequisite for the Facilitator training course of attending two circles. Here is a link to our schedule and there are multiple circles, some with established topics that one can choose from. <Link to Schedule.>

I would like to note that all of the Empathy Center affiliated circles listed on the schedule also have as a topic, “whatever is on your mind.” So, if you attend you are not locked into the suggested topic.

A good example of the power of this “openness” was a circle I facilitated a few weeks ago at the Empathy Circle Café. The usual topic for the Café is “How can we build a culture of empathy? However, the first speaker chose to share that they were training to be a hospice caregiver.

As it turned out one of the other participants and done similar training and each of the other participants, including myself, had experience caring for individuals at there end of life. This became the topic for the empathy circle. It went deep very quickly and everyone present shared their thoughts and feelings about the topic.

Please jump the fold for a brief discussion of the values taught in the Facilitators Training course.
