MISSION

Who We Are

EBSI is a nonprofit organization dedicated to building a world where empathy is at the heart of every decision for people, animals, nature, and the planet. We believe that real change begins with how we relate to all living beings.

Why Empathy?

Research shows we are born with our brains hard-wired for empathy. And empathy switches off violence in our brain. By nurturing empathy, we can disrupt cycles of harm and create a more compassionate, sustainable future for everyone.

Our Purpose

Disrupting Cycles of Violence with Empathy

We exist to make empathy a driving force for personal and systemic transformation. Our mission is to position empathy as a fundamental pillar in building a better future for generations to come.
