Mindful Self-Compassion Program
Many of us are feeling the weight of life at this time. Self-compassion helps us to connect with an inner strength that enables us to more fully embrace being human—and more fully embrace being ourselves.
Join us for the empirically-supported Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) program developed by Drs. Kristin Neff and Chris Germer to pause, rest and reflect, and to gently expand your capacity to navigate life’s many ups and downs with more compassion, wisdom and ease.
In this class you will discover:
- The science and physiology behind self-compassion
- Skills to practice self-compassion in your daily life
- On-the-spot practices for stressful moments
- How to soften self-criticism and perfectionism
- Meet difficult emotions with greater ease
- Manage burnout and caregiving fatigue
The course includes meditation, reflection and writing exercises, and group discussion, with a focus on in-session practice of the skills we are learning. No prior meditation experience is necessary.
A growing body of research demonstrates that self-compassion is strongly associated with emotional wellbeing, an ability to cope with life challenges, a healthier lifestyle, more satisfying personal relationships, and lower levels of anxiety and depression.
2024 dates to be announced.
