Welcome to Empathy Rising

Empathy Rising explores the reasons behind both the lack of Empathy in our culture and the emergence of Empathy as an antidote to Institutional Misogyny, Racism and Classism.

What is at the root of this Empathetic Deficiency is the Rational Man Project, which has, over a 300 year period, extended a massive over-evaluation of the masculine in all areas of society, the collateral damage of which is plain to see. If we are to evolve humanity to the next level, the path ahead involves the recognition of the significance of the much maligned feminine energy and its meaningful re-integration into balance.
