MINDFUL SELF-COMPASSION (MSC) is an empirically-supported, 8-week, training
program designed to cultivate the skill of self-compassion and is based on the
groundbreaking research of Kristin Neff and the clinical expertise of Christopher
Germer.
Research has demonstrated that self-compassion is strongly associated with emotional well-being, less anxiety, depression and stress, maintenance of healthy habits such as diet and exercise, and satisfying personal relationships.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING THE PROGRAM
MSC includes 8 weekly sessions of 3 hours each, in addition to a 4-hour retreat.
Participants should plan to attend every session and practice mindfulness and
self-compassion at least 30 minutes per day throughout the program.
No previous experience with mindfulness or meditation is required to attend MSC.
Programs are led by Trained Mindful Self-Compassion Teachers
