Title: Tending to the Global Heart Through Empathy and Understanding
What if one of the most powerful ways to strengthen human connection is the simple act of feeling deeply heard and understood? Join Michelle Villegas for a rich and inspiring conversation with Edwin Rutsch, founder of the Empathy Center, as they explore the transformative role empathy can play in our relationships, communities, and society as a whole.
Drawing from years of research and practice, Edwin shares his vision for building a global culture of empathy and introduces concepts including self-empathy, mutual empathy, imaginative empathy, and the practice of empathy circles—structured spaces where people experience the power of deep listening and authentic understanding. Michelle, bringing her perspective as a therapist, educator, singer, songwriter, and host, helps bridge these ideas with psychology, human development, and creative expression.
Together they explore barriers that often block empathy—including rushing to solutions, judgment, analysis, and disconnection—and discuss how learning to truly listen can open pathways to deeper connection. The conversation also reaches into larger social issues, including , education, and the importance of nurturing empathy in children and future generations.
Michelle and Edwin also reflect on the role of music, storytelling, and creativity as pathways to connection and understanding, inviting listeners to imagine a world where empathy becomes more than an individual practice—it becomes a cultural value.
This heartfelt discussion offers practical tools, fresh perspectives, and a vision for tending not only to our individual relationships, but to the global heart we all share
Edwin Rutsch is the founding director of The Empathy Center. The Centers mission is to build a movement to raise the level of mutual empathy in the world through education and community initiatives. Edwin has been working on this mission for the past 15+ years. A few of his projects include; creating the internet’s largest empathy related website, interviewing hundreds of world empathy experts, hosting Empathy Summits, and developing Empathy building practices and trainings. He also started the Empathy Tent which goes out to public spaces and offers listening and conflict resolution. Edwin hopes to inspire you to join this movement and transform the world.

New Event with Michelle Villegas
A SPECIAL INVITATION FOR CHILDREN TO BE PART OF FRIENDS WITH THE WORLD!

SoulCollage Workshops with Michelle Villegas
Michelle is a certified SoulCollage® facilitator. SoulCollage® is a creative and therapeutic process that combines images, intuition, and self-exploration to create a personal deck of collaged cards. It was developed by Seena Frost, a psychotherapist and author, in the late 1980s.
The process of creating SoulCollage® cards involves selecting images from magazines, books, or other printed materials that resonate with you personally. These images are then cut out and assembled on a card in a way that feels visually appealing or meaningful to you. The resulting collage becomes a unique representation of different aspects of your inner self, desires, dreams, and emotions.
The cards created in SoulCollage® often depict archetypes, personal symbols, or significant themes in one’s life. They can represent various facets of your personality, relationships, life experiences, and spiritual journey. Each card holds personal meaning and can serve as a visual reflection of your inner world.
Once the cards are created, they can be used for self-exploration, introspection, and personal growth. Individuals may engage in various activities and practices with their SoulCollage® cards, such as journaling, meditation, visualization, or using the cards as prompts for self-reflection and dialogue.
