About the event

Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) is a research-backed course designed to cultivate your self-compassion skills. MSC was developed by Christopher Germer, PhD, a leader in the integration of mindfulness and psychotherapy, and Kristin Neff, PhD, a pioneering researcher in the field of self-compassion. 

The class meets once a week, for 1.5 hours each week, for six weeks. Program activities include self-compassion meditations, brief talks, experiential exercises, group discussion, and home practices, all in a supportive environment. This program is designed for members of the general public. Meditation experience is not necessary to participate in MSC. All are welcome!

In this program, you will learn:

> Self compassion as a skill that can help you to meet life’s difficulties with more wisdom and kindness.

> How to offer yourself the compassion you would naturally extend to a dear friend or stranger.

> A courageous attitude of mind that will give you emotional stability and resilience to be more fully present with    uncertainty so that you can recover from life’s difficulties and move on with more ease and confidence.

Benefits:

> Practice mindfulness and self-compassion in your daily life

> Gain a new perspective on stressful situations

> Handle difficult emotions with greater ease

> Motivate yourself with encouragement rather than criticism

> Work with challenging relationships, both old and new

> Manage caregiver fatigue

> Practice the art of savoring and self-appreciation

> Become your own best teacher
