This Live Online Workshop offers participants the opportunity to learn and experience the key practices and exercises of the 8-week Mindful Self-Compassion class in a weekend setting from the comfort of your own home. Our Core Skills Workshop is a condensed version of the eight-session, empirically-supported Mindful Self-Compassion training developed by Christopher Germer and Kristin Neff.
Workshop activities include short meditations, reflective writing, experiential exercises, group discussion, and inquiry into our emotional and cognitive patterns around self-care, self-esteem, and self-criticism. The result? More self-compassion.
