Mindfulness takes a while to learn, like any new skill. So an 8-week course is a good way to do it.

10-week mindful self-compassion course

Join me for this 10-week international Live Online Mindful Self Compassion course, with each session 2 hours. This is for the Center for Mindful Self-Compassion and backed by their online learning platform where you can find all the class materials and recordings of each session after class. I have put UK times on my own website and the times listed on theirs are in Pacific Time which is 8 hours behind - don’t worry, it is the same course!

In this course you’ll be learning together how to be kinder to yourself, discover how to find a kinder inner voice than the all-too-common inner critic, discover what is truly important to you, learn to work with difficult emotions and relationships, and celebrate what is good and beautiful in your life.

This course and practice has been transformational for me and for the hundreds of people I have taught it to since 2019.

8-week Mindful Self-Compassion course

In this 8-week Mindful Self-Compassion Course you will learn the key principles and practices of self-compassion. Research has shown that these techniques can help improve our emotional well-being, increase our ability to cope with life’s challenges, lower levels of anxiety and depression, promote healthy habits and lead to more satisfying personal relationships.

The course includes meditations, group discussion, and experiential exercises to explore the following themes:

  • Bringing mindfulness and self-compassion into daily life

  • Handling difficult situations and emotions with greater ease

  • Motivating ourselves with kindness rather than self-criticism

  • Growing and sustaining compassion to improve relationships

  • Practicing the art of savouring and self-appreciation

  • Exploring the benefit of self-compassion in caregiver fatigue

  • Developing an understanding of the science around how self-compassion works

Cultivating self-compassion in this way can fundamentally shift how we relate to ourselves. Instead of meeting our imperfections and challenges with self-criticism, we can bring a kind and mindful attention to ourselves, right in the midst of difficult situations. With practice, we can strengthen this inner quality of presence, connectedness and kindness to improve emotional well-being and build resilience.
