6th Annual Psychophonetics Conference
1st International Empathy Conference at Skola Empatie – Empathy is a Frontline of Human Evolution
Empathy is a rising field of interest, research, development and application everywhere. It is in fact a new term for a new human capacity, created in its present meaning only in 1951 – it is still in its infancy, its meaning is still evolving. Conscious empathy is fast becoming both an ideal and an essential need everywhere.
Yet methodical schooling in this essential present and futuristic capacity is hardly available for those who need it most: partners in personal relationship, parents, friends, teachers, health professionals, managers, cultural and social leaders, scholars. We as adult educators are here to change it. We hope you can join us in this.
At Skola Empatie – and in Psychophonetics Institute International – we have been developing Methodical Empathy processes for the past 40 years in many countries, originated in Initiatory Theatre and later in the cutting edge development of Methodical Empathy for everyone.
Speakers
Empathic response in dementia: A journey alongside Anthroposophia
Joanna Jaaniste, PhD has 31 years experience as a dramatherapist. She is an Adjunct Fellow of Western Sydney University where she has worked for many years in various capacities with the students on the Master of Art Therapy course.
She teaches on the Master of Creative Arts Therapy course at the University of Melbourne and has a small private practice. Joanna has co-created a dramatherapy Graduate Diploma curriculum for IKON Australia. She worked for 20 years in the mental health sector and also with addiction and adolescents at risk and now gives supervision to other arts therapists. Joanna is passionate about the ability of art and dramatherapy to help people in a trauma-informed way to celebrate new ways of being, to grieve past losses and to work creatively with any present issues. Joanna has published widely in peer-reviewed journals, giving presentations at conferences and training courses around the world, especially in her home country of Australia. In 2023 she published a book suitable for counsellors and creative arts therapists on her work with people with dementia.
Empathy Circles: The Foundational Practice of the Empathy Movement
Edwin Rutsch is the founding director of The Empathy Center. The Center is developing an empathy based retreat center on a former Catholic Seminary property located on 35 acres with 55,000 square feet of buildings overlooking beautiful Santa Barbara, California and the ocean.
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.
Rainbow Rosenbloom founded Live Education! in the fall of 1997, after 12 years of working with homeschooling families and co-ops, both privately and within the public schools.
He studied Waldorf Education at Emerson College in England and worked as a class teacher and a high school teacher in several Waldorf schools. Rainbow also helped to construct an innovative Waldorf charter school program in Monterey, CA and served as its director for 3 years. He has a BA in Philosophy from The University of Tulsa and a Masters degree in Education from Harvard, where he studied Multiple Intelligence Theory with Howard Gardner.
Seeing, Hearing, and Knowing the World through Imitation
Empathy and the young child-the challenge and potential in education
She was born in the United States, where she spent her childhood and youth. Upon completing a degree in Psychology, part of which was taken in Dundee, Scotland, she returned to the United Kingdom, where she has lived ever since.
Her study of Psychology ignited a lifelong quest to understand what it means to be human, and to consider what capacities make individuals unique and connect or unite people as a global community.
This question led her to various training sessions and work with children of different ages and circumstances, with the aim of discovering how people learn and develop, and how they can best express themselves in the world. This included work and training within Waldorf education for the early and primary years, as well as within Special Education.
Her journey extended to include many years devoted to nurturing a family with three children, now young adults, and laterally to the field of adult education as a counselor, qualifying in 2013 as a Psychophonetics Practitioner. This has been complemented in recent years by training and qualification as a Sensory Integration Screener with the HANDLE Institute.
Alongside counseling, she currently runs parent and child groups in Stroud, England.
