Global, Zoom
During these times of a global crisis that prevents physical gatherings, I would love to be able to bring this impulse to people digitally. For in-person encounters, I would definitely love to facilitate Empathy Circles during protests and exhibitions to help the public/audience process what ever may be unfolding before them.

In India, I would like to hold empathy cafes once I am more experienced in facilitation.
I volunteer at a prison with women inmates and want to offer circles there. I run a community nonprofit for youth and would like to bring pop up empathy circles to community events and farmer markets. I would like to teach the youth to facilitate a circle ( perhaps you may offer training as well for youth in the future) so that they can do peer to peer circles at the community events and perhaps in the school. I also volunteer on a suicide and crisis hotline and would like to bring circles to the staff as we do not have a structured format to be able to process our own experiences on the hotline. I am also interested in bringing circles to the political arena both locally and state
