There are so many places within us that need to be comforted, soothed, and validated, even as we are activated by the times. Being able to sit with our feelings and our inner lives, and have a dialogue with the narrative of our personal and cultural lives is central to our journeys of identity, belonging, wellness, and meaning. This Mindful Self Compassion workshop aims to connect and empower participants to create a greater sense of safety and connection within and between.
This Mindful Self Compassion series runs on 8 consecutive Saturday mornings from 9:30 am to 12 noon PT starting Saturday, September 24, 2022. Classes will be held online due to uncertainty over the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Recordings will be made available in case of absence.
This 8-week course is particularly aimed at BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ community members and caregivers, and all those who have felt exhaustion, stress, or burnout during the times of COVID-19 and increased calls for racial justice, women’s rights, and human dignity.
The SF Love Dojo and Dr. Ravi Chandra believe in “These 5 Things”: Mindfulness, Compassion, Relatedness, Creativity, and Insight. We will bring all these to bear on the challenge of suffering and being in a world of suffering.
My goal is to have brief interviews with all participants before the class starts to make sure it will be a good fit.
