MSC Workshop Information

The 8-week format consists of eight weekly, 2.5 hour sessions, plus a 4-hour retreat. No previous meditation experience is necessary, but helpful. The program combines meditation practice, body practices, short talks and group inquiry to provide a multifaceted and complete program for developing self-compassion and mindfulness in everyday life.

What you will learn in this workshop:

• Mindfulness and self-compassion practices for home and everyday life
• Understand the empirically-supported benefits of self-compassion
• How to handle difficult emotions with greater ease
• How to motivate yourself with kindness rather than criticism
• How to identify your inner critic and relate to feelings of perfectionism, low self-esteem and low self-worth in a healthier way
• How to stop being so hard on yourself and become your own best teacher
• How developing compassion can transform challenging relationships, both old and new
• Practice the art of savoring and self-appreciation

During the course, participants are encouraged to work up to a daily practice of formal or informal meditations of 30 minutes per day.
