In 2018, we hosted an MCN session about empathy and facilitated some empathy-building activities using our empathi[ZINE]. In such a changing, uncertain time as 2020, we want to bring some of these concepts back to the top of people’s consciousness. We invite you to engage in some person-to-person, group, and individual exercises that we’ll facilitate to find connection in a world that seems quite disconnected.
