Finding Spiritual Connection Through Inner Empathy – Sam Lee

This meeting should be one of the most useful and intimately meaningful experiences we have had. Facilitated by Sam Lee, we will learn about compassionate communication and what empathy truly Is and what it is not. Sam will lead us in discovering new ways of interacting with others including:  how to communicate through spiritual connection consciously, how to honor our own feelings and needs then the ability to come up with a strategy that meets the needs of all parties. We will also learn how to make a request without it being a demand.

We will practice the techniques of compassionate communication in break-out sessions and have the opportunity to experience the warmth of sacred and empathic presence – a presence that helps us feel empowered and safe. It is all about love, consideration and respect for others and ourselves. You will come away with many new ideas and resources to practice in our endeavors to create and experience loving and spiritually connected relationships – the New Earth way.
