Through mindfulness, self-compassion, and reflections on impermanence, we will investigate the changing experiences of body, mind, relationships, and the world around us. Rather than resisting change, we will practice opening to it with greater ease, tenderness, and understanding. In the refuge of community, we will remember that we do not grieve, heal, or awaken alone, and that a deep sense of belonging can sustain us through times of change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSilence will support us in deep listening—to the body, the heart, the land, and to the quiet wisdom that emerges when we stop trying to manage everything. Within this field of stillness, we will also remember the power of community as a space of collective healing and belonging. Although we will be practicing mostly in silence, we will be held by simple shared rituals, opportunities for reflection, and the shared experience of walking this path together. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eMSC Teachers may receive a $100 total discount, please email \u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-f5bf4bf7-7fff-5b4e-11cb-ac4165ca9ae7\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eprofessionaltraining@centerformsc.org \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eto request code prior to purchase. \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(122, 62, 62);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eMissed coupon codes will not be refunded.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(17, 99, 112);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYour Retreat Leaders:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"instructor__bio\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNoriko Morita Harth and Carolina Bautista‑Velez are both \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003ehighly experienced Mindful Self-Compassion Teachers and Retreat leaders in both online and in-person events.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Noriko:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertified MSC \u0026amp; Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Instructor\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMBSR\/MSC Teacher Trainer and Mentor\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTeaching MBSR and MSC since 2014\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBorn in Japan, moved to the States in 1985\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinds balance and identity between Japanese and American cultures through mindfulness and compassion practices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBelieves mindfulness and compassion have transformed her life and continue to help her grow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePassionate about sharing mindfulness and compassion practices with others\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMission to share what she has learned and continues to learn with the community\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"instructor__bio\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Carolina:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSocial changemaker focused on individual and collective liberation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertified Teacher and Teacher Trainer in Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), a Certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher (MMTCP), and a Certified Mindfulness Mentor (MMP)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20+ years of experience as a consultant in the areas of mental health, organizational change, popular education, and social justice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHolds a degree in Clinical Psychology with a specialization in Social Psychology and Psychoanalysis.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegistration closes November 9th, or when class is at capacity.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Center for Mindful Self-Compassion","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52020001833258,"sku":null,"price":575.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0840\/5090\/3338\/files\/2026_silent_retreat_noriko_carolina.png?v=1769560303","url":"https:\/\/centerformsc.org\/products\/november-11-16-2026-5-day-live-online-silent-retreat-with-noriko-morita-harth-and-carolina-bautista-velez","provider":"Center for Mindful Self-Compassion","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
