An Evening of Self-Compassion


In person in Bellingham

1-hour drop-in workshop


Interested in learning to be kinder to yourself when you’re suffering? Wish you had better tools for handling difficult emotions? Want to be able to motivate yourself with encouragement rather than criticism and start to leave that harsh inner-critical voice behind? Start here!

Expect a one-hour interactive presentation introducing you to the principles of mindful self-compassion and teaching some basic practices. You’ll leave with a handout and a tool kit of simple practices to use at work and home.

This participatory, practical introductory evening includes:

  • Definitions of mindfulness and compassion
  • A helpful handout summarizing the benefits and applications of self-compassion
  • Guided body and breath awareness practices
  • Group dialogue and small group discussion
  • Suggestions on resources for starting a practice of self-compassion

Based on the 8-week Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) program. Mindful Self-Compassion is a great course for learning to befriend yourself, especially when things are tough. This nourishing evidence-based course combines the skills of mindfulness and self-compassion, providing a powerful tool for emotional resilience.

Thank you so much for the wisdom and insight. The information shared during our brief class at Village Books last week is proving to be most helpful for my personal journey. I am indeed grateful.
