What people are saying about the Empathy Labyrinth®:

       "I have felt pleased and astounded at the speed and depth with which people have been able to connect to   
meaningful parts of their experience using the Empathy Labyrinth! There is something about the walking and the
slowing down which really supports inner work and transformation.  
Jane Connor, Ph.D. Binghamton University

“Your Empathy Labyrinth is a wonderful and creative tool for teaching NVC.  Thank you for this gift.”
Jay Jackson, Executive Director, Freedom Project

      “The Empathy Labyrinth is a practical way for people to get in touch with their inner more spiritual selves."
Rabbi Levi Brachman

      “This tool has allowed me to experience my heart in a way I have been out of touch with most of my life, and to
begin … loving myself, and loving others.  I am very grateful to you for this wonderful contribution to my life.”
Professor Frances Delahanty, PhD

         "The EL is a big hit at the IIT (NVC's International Intensive Training). The demo was exquisite - so deep and moving."
Marthy Lasley, Certified NVC trainer and Life Coach

"This was amazing.  Through walking the Empathy Labyrinth, I was supported in exposing myself with     
an extraordinary level of ease and depth around a longstanding dilemma. I particularly loved the Jackal part. The   
structure of it was such that everything was out, and thus I felt free to express all the thoughts, judgments, and
demands without worrying about translating them. The freedom I felt this way was very unusual for me, and I was
then able to enter the feelings and needs part of the labyrinth with much more openness. I recommend this highly,
especially for people who have been learning NVC for so long that having access to undigested thoughts is blocked
at times.  
Miki Kashtan, co-founder, Bay Area Nonviolent Communication

"You are not using your skills and I am waiting for you to use them. You are too caught up in this and angry to notice. Where are your skills?"
Rebecca Weiner (Marc's daughter reminding him to use his skills. How sweet is that?)

educators. Jewish and Arabic teachers attended this historic event. Hebrew and Arabic translators
were on hand and assisted Marc to make the workshop accessible to all. With the loving support
and contribution of many hours behind the scenes from Ronny Weinberger, Miri Shapiro, and
Wejdan Massalha, the Empathy Labyrinth has been translated into Hebrew and Arabic.

As of December 23, 2009, Miri Shapiro writes from Israel: "The first 12 Hebrew Empathy Labyrinth jr. sets are
being tested around the country and as part of a pilot program with 12 trainers using them in kindergartens and
schools in Israel.
