Empathy Village

Selah Rose, creator of Empathy Village, has been practicing the art of empathic listening for over 15 years. She has worked professionally in the community impact sector as a program developer, facilitator, and conflict coach while serving vulnerable populations and the community at large. She sees the skill set of empathic listening as a way to disrupt conflict, separation, and disconnection and move towards understanding and collaboration. Her skill of empathic listening comes from her deep study and practice of Nonviolent Communication, which is a powerful paradigm being used globally to promote peace in communities. She has also earned her certification in Mediation and Conflict Management from the University of Waterloo.
