5-Day Mindful Self-Compassion Intensive, Rhinebeck , NY , United States

How do you typically react to difficulties in life? Do you instinctively fight uncomfortable experiences to find fault in yourself when things go wrong? What if instead, you took a moment to comfort yourself when you felt bad—as you would do for others?

Self-compassion is a skill that can be learned by anyone. Research has shown it boosts happiness, reduces anxiety and depression, and can help you stick to your diet and exercise routine. Gain essential tools for living fully and learn how to:

Handle difficult emotions with greater ease
Motivate yourself with kindness rather than criticism
Transform relationships, old and new
This workshop meets a prerequisite for admission to Mindful Self-Compassion teacher training and is valuable for health-care professionals and nonprofessionals who want an in-depth experience of mindful self-compassion.
