Empathy Cards

During dinner we spontaneously made game with the cards you created. I gave some game ideas and he made up a game that he absolutely loved, laughed heaps, was so excited he was jumping around the room laughing and we connected deeply with what was alive in each other. It was great.

First he chose his top 10 feeling cards, did a bit of empathy poker where I tried to guess the needs behind his feelings. He then had me pick out my top ten needs but keep them secret. Then we made up a fun creative story where he would tell part of it and put down his feeling card then I would make up part of the story introducing my next need in the pack.

I feel very grateful for your work in creating those cards and the help they have been to me and my children already (because of my need for connection, intimacy, and growth).

“We recently had Joel facilitate some training at our Youth Workers Meeting. It was invaluable. The content that Joel covered was pertinent to the expressed need. He has a terrific ability to see applications made to both self and work related arenas, allowing for personal and professional development. All those that attended regarded it as time well spent and had lots to say on things learnt. Joel’s materials are a huge resource to us as a collective working with young people. I am eager to have him do further training in the close future. He comes with my high recommendations.”

NewInsight - Living Wisdom School

Student 1
"Here is a little note for you Joel! This is a fantastic course & you are doing really well. I really do look at situations, people & my thoughts & assumptions differently now.

Also you are a great inspiration for me personally in the way that I have always though that I was really bad @ schooling etc and have been told by many people that very thing. And hearing you say that you also thought that…well it all just put it in words really. Looking @ what you are doing now after thing those thoughts is amazing!

You have also made me realise that I’m not dumb and that the areas of my schooling that I was bad in was tests & exams which could just mean that –pg 1.2 Flooding! Maybe – I’m not sure but anyway – I will work it out.

Thanks heaps."
