The Empathy Labyrinth® is spreading across the world!
In April 2007, Marc traveled to Israel and gave a full day Empathy Labyrinth workshop to 25 Israeli
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,
and Miri Shapiro, the Empathy Labyrinth floor cards were translated into Hebrew.   
















Now with the much appreciated help from Woojdan Massalha, the Empathy Labyrinth is currently
being translated into Arabic.
















If you are an NVC trainer and own an Empathy Labyrinth, please let us know where you are using
your Empathy Labyrinth.

Labyrinth identifying their outer Jackals. Special thanks to NVC
facilitators,  Sue Tibke and Gregg Wills for organizing this
wonderful event.
Teenagers and the Empathy Labyrinth
The only three feelings that the teenagers didn't slide out were:
Safe, Secure, and Empowerment.
However, at the conclusion of the EL workshop,
I asked 'How do you feel after this workshop?" One teenager
said " I feel  Safe, Secure, and Empowered".  Mission
accomplished.
