Creating a more empathetic world, together

Empact is a community and studio practice cultivating empathy through experiences, design, and storytelling.

At the Crossroads of Inner Healing and Social Change

Our world needs healing—and so do we. At Empact, we believe empathy is a radical tool for change, including how we show up for ourselves and each other. When we recognize one other as kin, as whole and connected beings, we don't just dismantle oppressive systems—we also shape new realities of collective liberation.

EMPACT COMMUNITY

Meaningful Connection and Conversation, in Community

Community is at the core of Empact—we bring together people who care about social justice, healing, and the intersections between the two. Our Community Circles are intimate, in-person and virtual gatherings to connect and have thoughtful dialogue about topics that may not always get the attention they deserve and stories that often go unheard.

Empact is dedicated to creating safe, empowering spaces to learn from one another and grow together—and where all are welcome.

“My partnership with Empact began in spring 2024, during a pivotal moment in my search for a thought partner who could meaningfully amplify youth as transformative leaders in their communities. Empact was exactly that—and more.

In June 2024, Rubini brought her brilliance to our Young Leaders for Health Equity and Civic Change convening, leading a powerful session on identity and storytelling. It wasn’t just a highlight—it was the moment that resonated most with our participants. Her intentional facilitation created a space for deep reflection, allowing youth to ground themselves in their experiences and connect their personal narratives to larger systems of change.

Since then, Empact’s influence has extended well beyond that session. Their collaborative spirit and storytelling expertise have helped shape our program strategy and strengthened my own leadership. Partnering with Empact hasn’t just enhanced our work—it’s elevated it.”
