Loving Exchange instead of Charges, Payments, Calculations of Worth ...
Dear Spirit Soul! We are currently undergoing an exciting transition within our team, shifting from a material market-based approach to one that is rooted in spiritually guided, compassionate giving and receiving. Through Empathic Communication, we are encouraged to focus on the needs of both the giver and receiver, which can deeply transform how we perceive and exchange money. Money, like any other strategy, becomes a tool to facilitate the fulfillment of human needs, rather than a primary focus or a source of conflict. We are offering our services as a gift to all participants because we genuinely care that everyone who wishes to study and practice Empathic Communication has the opportunity to do so. Our goal is to make EC accessible to people, regardless of financial means, while fostering inclusion and a spirit of loving exchange. By offering our services, we fulfill several of our own needs, including the joy of giving, a sense of inspiration, and the pursuit of meaning and purpose, to name just a few. We hope that if you ever consider giving a gift to us, it is inspired by a desire to meet some of your needs, such as the joy of giving, gratitude, contribution, reciprocity... We acknowledge that this approach may be new and unfamiliar to you, so if you need clarification, please don't hesitate to reach out to us: veedakultuur(at)gmail.com

All of us are interconnected in this divine creation of Lord Krishna, and it is by His mercy that we are able to offer our services, freely sharing the knowledge and wisdom He has bestowed upon us. If you ever feel inspired to offer us your voluntary gift, given from the joy and fulfillment of contributing to each other's wellbeing, your generosity will help us continue sharing the teachings of Empathic Communication throughout the ISKCON family. In this way, we complete the cycle of loving exchange: receiving the knowledge, the acquiring of skills, and the inspiration that arises from our collective journey together. |
"Offering gifts in charity, accepting charitable gifts,
revealing one's mind in confidence, inquiring confidentially,
accepting prasada and offering prasada
are the six symptoms of love shared by one devotee and another."
- Nectar of Instructions, text 4 -
Srila Prabhupada states in The Nectar of Instructions
that Our Movement Progresses Because of Loving Relationships.
People join us because of the relationships, and
unfortunately,
people also leave because of the relationships.
|
With joy in our hearts, we warmly welcome you, dear like-minded soul!
Though we are like-minded, we are each unique, with our own individuality, life experiences, talents, and desires. Like flowers in a beautiful bouquet, each of us contributes unique flavor and character to our communities. Our goal with this course is to foster an appreciation for the beauty of diversity and inspire the pursuit of harmonizing our inner dilemmas and conflicts. By honoring and embracing our differences, we empower ourselves to cultivate harmonious relationships, leading to joyful cooperation and a life filled with love and devotion. Warm welcome! |

How?
In this course, we will combine the principles of the Empathic Communication with group discussions, demonstrations, and skill practice in small groups. This is going to be a highly interactive and engaging experience, where we’ll be practicing hands-on exercises and sharing from the heart.
For our collective learning to be as impactful as possible, we kindly request that you have your camera on during the sessions. This helps us connect more authentically with one another and creates a supportive, lively environment. It’s an important part of the process, as this is not a theoretical or passive course, but a space for active participation and heartfelt interaction.
Additionally to the online sessions, you'll need to spend 1-2 hours a week on individual practice and buddy meetings.
As our experience shows, the buddy practice is one of the most powerful components of this course. It ensures that all participants have opportunities for mutual contribution, community building, relationship development, hands-on practice, integration, empathy, healing, and applying EC in your life.
Practice buddies support each other by staying connected, inspired, and encouraged throughout the course. This fosters a collaborative spirit, mutual empowerment, and creates strong opportunities for deep bonding and lasting support that can extend well beyond the course itself.
Since your involvement in the buddy practice sessions influences not only your own experience but also that of others, we kindly ask that you make a committed effort to stay regularly engaged throughout the course.

"Empathic Communication is a powerful tool
for enhancing proper Vaishnava interactions.
Simply expressing our observations and feelings and
communicating our needs and requests
can significantly improve our relationships.
I find this approach invaluable in my personal life and
especially in my leadership role,
where effective communication is essential."
