SUMMARY:5-Day Mindful Self-Compassion
DESCRIPTION:Learn to manage difficulty with more ease and kindness \nMindful Self-Compassion (MSC) combines the skills of mindfulness and self-compassion to enhance our emotional well-being. While mindfulness increases our awareness of the present\, self-compassion encourages greater kindness and understanding of periods of suffering. It also helps us accept our flaws and better understand our challenges. \nMSC is a research-supported program developed by Dr. Kristin Neff and Dr. Christopher Germer. Research on self-compassion have shown that it boosts happiness and improves relationships while reducing anxiety\, depression and shame. Increased levels of self-compassion can transform empathy fatigue into wholehearted engagement with others. \nParticipants Will Learn\nTo befriend their self–critic\, develop self-compassion skills\, and foster goodwill towards themselves and others. The 5-day intensive explores typical responses as difficulties arise. \nWho Should Attend\nAll are welcome. It is especially beneficial for graduates of mindfulness-based programs\, such as MBCT/MBSR. No previous experience with mindfulness or meditation is required. This program qualifies as the prerequisite for training as a Mindful Self-Compassion teacher. \nTiming\nSessions 1-5:  Monday\, January 22 to Friday January 26th | 8:30am – 4:30pm\nThe Centre for Mindfulness Studies\, 180 Sudbury St\, Toronto\, Ontario \nEarly Bird Fee: $690 until Dec 22 \nRegular Fee: $750\n(Fees includes handouts and guided meditations)\n\nREGISTER HERE \nAs a registered charity\, we do not charge HST.
