This is a 10-session online training course for learning practical skills to cultivate sustainable self-care, self-compassion and mindfulness in your everyday life.
Research shows that self-compassion combined with mindfulness can greatly enhance emotional wellbeing and change the way the brain rewires in response to life’s challenges. They have been linked to an increase in life satisfaction, happiness, optimism, creativity, and appreciation.
We teach you 18 informal practices, 8 brief meditations, and other resources in an accessible way.
We work in a small group to maximise teacher and group interaction to facilitate your learning. You will receive a comprehensive course handbook, as well as links to online resources, to support you during the course and after the course.
No experience is necessary. All are welcome!
Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) can help you maintain healthy lifestyle habits, such as diet and exercise, as it motivates us through kindness. During times of difficulty it provides emotional strength and resilience, helping us to reduce stress and anxiety.
MSC is an empirically supported secular programme, internationally recognized, based on the ground-breaking research of Kristin Neff and the clinical expertise of Chris Germer.
Course Highlights
Research shows that we are generally kinder to others than towards ourselves. MSC provides a safe and structured space for us to become more caring, kind and compassionate towards ourselves, while still caring for others.
This course offers space for both structured contact with teachers, as well as periods for individual personalised and focused exploration and application into daily life inter-actions.
Successful completion of this course is one of the qualifying components to training to become a Mindful Self-Compassion teacher.
