Many of us are tired.
Join us for the empirically-supported Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) program to pause, rest and reflect, and to gently expand your capacity to navigate life’s many ups and downs with a bit more compassion, wisdom and ease.
Course Details
This course is the empirically supported Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) program, developed by Drs. Kristin Neff and Chris Germer.
It includes 23 hours of training and practice. It is an immersive exploration of self-compassion, offering highlights of relevant research and theory, self-compassion meditations and exercises, discussions, and a retreat — with time between sessions to apply what you learn about self-compassion to your own life.

The course aims to help participants to:
- Customize on-the-spot practices to use for yourself (while in meetings or at work, with family or with friends).
- Recognize and validate your own needs.
- Soothe and comfort yourself in the midst of difficulty.
- Balance what you give and receive in professional and personal roles.
- Take designated time and space for you to restore energy.
- Customize compassion and mindfulness practices for daily life and for greater well-being.
