Overview

IDEAL FOR: 
All levels, including beginners and past participants in Mindful Self-Compassion offerings that want to refresh their practice.

This course includes several practices from the research-based 8-week Mindful Self-Compassion course designed by Kristin Neff, Ph. D, and Chris Germer, Ph.D who are world leading experts in self-compassion.

It is well studied that individuals find it easier to be kinder to others than to themselves. In fact, many people struggle with harsh, inner judgment and criticism. Why is this so? Throughout this weekend long retreat, we will explore the role of the inner critic and learn how to shift the relationship with the critical part of ourselves to make room for compassion. When we can open to the gentleness and compassion within ourselves, we can create more space for courage, safety, joy and peace.

Our intention for you during this course to use a variety of research-based mindfulness and self-compassion practices to help soften the protective inner walls and directly grow self-compassion. You will build inner resources while learning how to work with resistance and challenging emotions all in with the intention of cultivating compassion within.

This is a very supportive and nourishing course with trauma sensitive, gentle, compassion-centered guidance and practices.

 

Together we will:

  • Develop a deeper understanding and experiential experience of Mindful Self-Compassion
  • Engage in a variety of Mindful Self-Compassion practices including: affectionate breathing, loving kindness, and working with difficult emotions
  • Explore a variety of individual inner practices, journaling, movement, small group, and large group practices
  • Learn how work with all parts of ourselves by bringing curiosity and deeper understanding
  • Cultivate a warm community and felt experience of compassion

TBD
