Mindful Self Compassion 8 week course

 Remember that if your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete. 

~ Jack Kornfield 

Are you kinder and more caring to others than you are to yourself? 

How would it be to learn to treat yourself as you would a good friend? 

Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) is an empirically-supported, internationally recognized, structured well-being program that is based on the ground-breaking research of psychologist Kristin Neff and the clinical expertise of psychologist Christopher Germer.

Research shows that MSC

• Reduces stress and anxiety
• Enhances emotional well-being 
• Promotes resilience 
• Helps people clarify core values & develop resources to live in tune with them 
• Fosters healthy, positive relationships 

MSC builds resilience and emotional well- being and reduces anxiety, depression and stress.

An 8- week MSC course plus half day retreat is a comprehensive program that consists of up to 40 practices and key exercises, group discussion and reflection. It explores mindfulness and self-compassion via self-reflective exercises, small and large group discussions, and activities in a safe and supportive environment. No meditation experience is required. 

Courses being offered in person in Port Elliot and online using zoom. Both starting in April 2021.

Self-compassion is simply giving the same kindness to ourselves that we give to others. 

~ Christopher Germer, Ph.D.
