The aim of playing

Develop your empathy and empathy in your group. Get to know each other.  Have fun.

Empathy Play is about communication, relationship awareness, emotional intelligence, empathy, openness and about “see and be seen”.

Through others you get to know yourself and through yourself you get to know others and so it goes on all your life. It is a development  process of self-knowledge that is a part of your  personal development. The process is a key factor for the development of empathy.

Empathy grows when there is a balance between respect and self respect,

In the Empathy Play you choose and take a stand on different questions. Your friends guess your answer (projections) and explain their guesses.

Questions about each other are clarified in a respectful way. (Projections are examined). Learning about oneself and others leads to new and positive energy being released.

You are a part of someone else´s experience.
Be considerate to your fellow travellers.
