Mindful Self-Compassion


ONLINE



Mindful Self-Compassion is an eight-week course with an additional weekend session. It’s the practice of learning to befriend yourself, especially when things are tough. It can be learned by anyone.

Research has shown that self-compassion greatly enhances emotional well-being. It boosts happiness, reduces anxiety and depression, and can even help maintain healthy lifestyle habits such as diet and exercise. Being both mindful and compassionate leads to greater ease and joy in our daily lives.

Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) was developed by Christopher K. Germer, PhD, leader in the integration of mindfulness and psychotherapy (centerformsc.org), and Kristin Neff, PhD, pioneering researcher in the field of self-compassion (www.self-compassion.org).
