Empatiko is an inclusive, empowering community that promotes healing and human connection. We foster playful and creative ways to ignite curiosity, resilience, and empathy.

The foundation of Empatiko communities is our 10 week connection in-person connection course. We bring people together in small groups to transform their relationship with each other and with the world. This is how we do it...

  • Action -  make real shifts in your life and in your communities, from small actions to major change, we are with you along the way.
  • Play -  we feel that human connection is about fun and we weave this seamlessly into your experience.
  • Discovery - view new ideas and philosophies, find out what is holding you back, reinvigorate your power.
  • Inspiration - get energy for change from our innovators in human connection, from your fellow course-mates, from yourself

We believe in the wisdom that comes forth in struggle. This is why our courses are lead by those who have lived experience of extreme states of consciousness. Our courses are designed to bring different perspectives and experiences together, to create a mutual learning environment. We are dedicated to integrating a diverse group of people together. 

Our mission: 

  1. Build trust, empathy and creative self expression within the core community through events and resources that teach tools like mindfulness, communicating powerful vulnerability, and listening with curiosity and care. Provide opportunities to understand ourselves more deeply, to recognize limitations of connection we have created for ourselves, and to let go of what may be holding us back.
  2. Create openness to be aware of and understand many ways to view human emotional experiences. These different ways include a path to enlightenment, a way of coping with trauma, an imbalance of chemicals, a challenging growth period and many others. This exploration is not meant to promote one way of viewing the experience; instead, it emphasizes the myriad of possibilities out there, leaving us humbled and open to shift our own paradigm.
  3. Understand the wisdom that comes forth through the experience of extreme states. Extreme states, sometimes referred to as “mental illnesses”, are temporary or cyclical processes of consciousness which evolve and contain meaning and underlying order. We believe the lessons learned from extreme and unusual states of consciousness benefit not only the individuals experiencing them, but also the whole community.
  4. Acknowledge the value of all emotion in our lives. We view emotion as spectrum that we move along based upon the different experiences we encounter throughout our lives. We feel it is crucial to have a support community along the continuum of emotional experiences.
  5. Develop broad messaging to shifts the global conversation around human connection and emotional well being. Community members are encouraged to connect with people outside of their Empatiko connections and spread the love - to give the gift of human connection, one of the largest catalysts to social and global transformation.
