Join me on Zoom for my 23nd session of Mindful Self Compassion!
Together, we will go on an 8-week adventure to identify and develop our innate resource of self-compassion to enhance our capacity for emotional well-being. Most of us feel deep compassion for our close friends when they are struggling but how about yourself? What would it be like to receive the same caring attention from yourself, when you need it the most? Mindful Self-Compassion involves the capacity to comfort and soothe ourselves, and to motivate ourselves with encouragement when we suffer, fail, or feel inadequate.
WHAT IS MINDFUL SELF-COMPASSION?
Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) is an empirically-supported 8-week training program designed to cultivate the skill of self-compassion. Based on the groundbreaking research of Kristin Neff, PhD, and Christopher Germer, PhD, MSC teaches core principles and practices that enable participants to respond to difficult moments in their lives with kindness, care and understanding.

Most of us feel compassion for our close friends when they are struggling. What would it be like to receive the same caring attention from yourself when you needed it most? All that’s required is a shift in attention – recognizing that as a human being, you, too, are a worthy recipient of compassion.
This six-session online engagement course draws on the skills of mindfulness and focuses on developing the resource of self-compassion to enhance our capacity for emotional well-being. Burgeoning research shows that self-compassion is strongly associated with emotional well-being, coping with life's challenges, lower levels of anxiety and depression, healthy habits such as diet and exercise, and more satisfying personal relationships. It is an inner strength that enables us to be more fully human – more fully ourselves.
You will be provided with essential tools for treating yourself in a kind, compassionate way whenever you suffer, fail, or feel inadequate. Program activities include short talks, experiential exercises, group discussion, and home practices. All are welcome. No previous experience with mindfulness or meditation is required.

Join me on Zoom for my 15th session of Mindful Self Compassion!
Together, we will go on an 8-week adventure to identify and develop our innate resource of self-compassion to enhance our capacity for emotional well-being. Most of us feel deep compassion for our close friends when they are struggling but how about yourself? What would it be like to receive the same caring attention from yourself, when you need it the most? Mindful Self-Compassion involves the capacity to comfort and soothe ourselves, and to motivate ourselves with encouragement when we suffer, fail, or feel inadequate.
WHAT IS MINDFUL SELF-COMPASSION?
Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) is an empirically-supported 8-week training program designed to cultivate the skill of self-compassion. Based on the groundbreaking research of Kristin Neff, PhD, and Christopher Germer, PhD, MSC teaches core principles and practices that enable participants to respond to difficult moments in their lives with kindness, care and understanding.

Most of us feel compassion for our close friends when they are struggling. What would it be like to receive the same caring attention from yourself when you needed it most? All that’s required is a shift in attention – recognizing that as a human being, you, too, are a worthy recipient of compassion.
This six-session online engagement course draws on the skills of mindfulness and focuses on developing the resource of self-compassion to enhance our capacity for emotional well-being. Burgeoning research shows that self-compassion is strongly associated with emotional well-being, coping with life's challenges, lower levels of anxiety and depression, healthy habits such as diet and exercise, and more satisfying personal relationships. It is an inner strength that enables us to be more fully human – more fully ourselves.
You will be provided with essential tools for treating yourself in a kind, compassionate way whenever you suffer, fail, or feel inadequate. Program activities include short talks, experiential exercises, group discussion, and home practices. All are welcome. No previous experience with mindfulness or meditation is required.
