What is Mindful Self-Compassion?

 This workshop derives from Mindful Self-Compassion, a concept developed by Kristin Neff and Christopher Germer. Mindfulness involves awareness of the present moment without judgment, while self-compassion is our ability to engage with ourselves through kindness. Research on Mindful Self-Compassion has shown significantly increased self-compassion, compassion for others, mindfulness, and life satisfaction, as well as decreased depression, anxiety and stress.

What skills may I learn from this workshop?

-       Cognitive behavioral skills to explore ways in which we negatively overthink, judge and ruminate

What will the workshop look like?

 The workshop will have a limited number of spots in order to create a more intimate experience, first come first served. Sessions will meet once a week on Monday evenings at 7pm MST (6pm PST, 9pm EST) and will last 50 minutes long, for 7 weeks beginning on January 4th, 2021. Sessions will involve education around mindful self-compassion, vulnerable discussions and reflections and mindfulness and self-compassion exercises. In between sessions there will be journaling opportunities and check-ins with peers from the workshop, along with mindfulness and self-compassion exercises to practice.
