MIDWEEK April 6: Erin Whalen | Embracing a Culture of Encounter

​In the words of Pope Francis: “It is neither a culture of confrontation nor a culture of conflict which builds harmony within and between peoples, but rather a culture of encounter and a culture of dialogue; this is the only way to peace.”

And how do we develop and maintain this 'culture of encounter?' It starts with compassion. Join Erin Whalen as she shares her insights on cultivating compassion in order to embrace a culture of encounter.

​Erin Whalen is a Communication Coach and founder of Compassionate Coaching. She uses innovative and highly interactive offerings to help teams - especially those who work with the grieving and the dying - to communicate effectively and compassionately. Erin is a parishioner at St. Ann's Catholic Church in Arlington, Virginia.
