The Mindful Self-Compassion Core Skills workshop is designed for individuals who want to integrate self-compassion into their personal lives and professional work. It is open to the general public and provides a total of 12 hours of training over two days.
When we fail, make mistakes, or we’re faced with life challenges, it is easy to feel overwhelmed, inadequate, and disconnected from ourselves and others. In these moments, self-compassion, especially when practiced in community, can serve as a powerful tool for grounding, healing, and connection.
By offering ourselves the same kindness, understanding, and care that we would a close friend, we can navigate the imperfection of life with greater self-acceptance, resilience, and clarity. Practicing self-compassion in community helps us reconnect with our inner and collective wisdom, fostering a sense of inner peace and strength.
What You’ll Learn
MSC helps you develop self-compassion through three core elements:
- Mindfulness
- Common Humanity
- Self-Kindness
Benefits of Self-Compassion
Research shows that self-compassion is strongly associated with:
- Greater emotional well-being
- Enhanced ability to cope with life challenges
- Lower levels of anxiety and depression
- Healthier habits such as good nutrition and exercise
- More satisfying and compassionate relationships
Self-compassion not only helps us comfort, soothe, and validate ourselves, but also empowers us to protect, provide, and motivate ourselves toward achieving our goals.
This workshop is an empowering introduction for those new to self-compassion and a valuable refresher for MSC graduates looking to deepen their practice.
