One of the biggest things we can do is really understand what empathy is, and understand it as a practical, applicable skill, rather some a fuzzy or warm thing only for mushy people.
And when people finding that they can systematically learn to offer empathy, it changes every relationship in their life
The people around them start giving feedback like, you’re the best listener I’ve ever encountered. It’s incredible.”
– LaShelle Lowe-Chardé

about LaShelle Lowe-Chardé
LaShelle Lowe-Chardé has a mission to help make a shift in consciousness about how we relate to life and each other. She dream of a world in which becoming a relationship master is a central value in our global culture – a world in which we value and trust the quality of connection with ourselves and others as the foundation for collaborating to create and maintain a thriving life for all. She is the founder of Wise Heart, which teaches practical skills for personal transformation & thriving relationships
LaShelle created what she calls Mindful Compassionate Dialogue, which integrates her own 20 years of training and experience in Mindfulness, Hakomi, and NVC. This system provides a roadmap to becoming a relationship master by defining and operationalizing the essential aspects of creating a confident sense of self as well engaging in the consciousness and skills that facilitate living from compassion, wisdom, mindfulness, and agency.
LaShelle is enormously grateful to the very many teachers and mentors she has had along the way and the enormous work others have done over many decades that have served our understanding of what it means to heal and live a fulfilling life.
LaShelle currently lives and works in Portland, Oregon. She feels continua lly blessed to be living in the great northwest where the lushness of nature is all around. She is happily supported there by my partner and loving community of friends and colleagues.
