Dear Empathy Community,

 

Join with us to experience empathy this Sunday, February 8th from 11 to 1 at:


Wilderness Youth Project 

2040 Alameda Padre Serra

Unit 224

 

Enter through the front door of the Riviera Theatre and we will guide you to our meeting place.  Please try to arrive on time as we must close the door at 11:15. 

 

Some of us may do circles outside on the covered balcony. Please bring a warm coat and maybe a blanket - it may be chilly and windy.

 

Our weekly Empathy Café is freely offered. All are welcome.  Come and open your hearts and help to build our local (and global) community of empathy. 


A note of gratitude to our hosts, The Wilderness Youth Project, who are supporting us by offering us their space for our Sunday Cafés.
