Empathy & Boundaries
Where do we draw the line?

Empathy is essential—it's how we connect and care. But we live in a time flooded with suffering at a scale no human nervous system was designed to hold. Without practices to work with this, we can shut down, numb out, or exhaust ourselves trying to feel everything for everyone.

In this retreat, we'll explore how true empathy doesn't mean absorbing others' pain or abandoning our own needs. We'll distinguish between healthy resonance (feeling with) and tricky enmeshment (losing ourselves in). We'll look at how boundaries aren't walls against caring—they're what make sustainable connection possible.  Even an amoeba knows this.

Drawing on biology, sociology, and practices from insight and compassion meditation, we'll explore how to hold our own sovereignty while staying open-hearted.
