The Pause Collective - Session 4
The Pause Collective: A Monthly Wellbeing Drop-In
What does it really mean to empathise?
Empathy isn't one size fits all. It's a living, breathing practice that can look like heartfelt connection, mental perspective shifting, embodied resonance or quiet, grounded presence.
Join us for a virtual experience of reflection, discussion, and gentle practice as we explore the distinct styles of empathy:
Cognitive Empathy – understanding others' perspectives
Emotional Empathy – feeling with another
Compassionate Empathy – the impulse to support
Somatic Empathy – the body’s resonance with others
Intuitive Empathy – sensing energy and unspoken cues
Boundary-Focused Empathy – staying present without absorbing
We’ll explore six unique styles of empathy and how they show up in your everyday life, whether in relationships, work, or care for others. You’ll get space to reflect on your own style, connect with the group and leave with simple tools to help you navigate empathy with more balance and ease.
Whether you’re a healer, creative, leader, or simply someone who feels a lot, this is a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect to the wisdom of empathy, in all its forms.
Come as you are. Cameras optional. Presence welcome.
We hope to see you there!
