Cultivating Presence & Self-Compassion – A Mindfulness Journey (4-weeks) Online
This 4-week online course invites you to explore the important balance of mindfulness and self-compassion – often referred to as two wings of the same bird as we need both in order to be present and flourish in our growth journeys.
We will draw on the compassion research of Dr. Kristin Neff and the science of mindfulness to move into something deep: learning to meet yourself with the same warmth and care you’d offer a good friend.
Participates are welcome pick up the book Self Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself by Kristin Neff to read along; however, it is not required.
Each 75-minute session weaves together discussion, guided practices, and supportive community.
What we’ll explore together:
- The difference between self-compassion and self-pity
- How self-compassion relates to motivation and resilience
- Working with the inner critic and understanding where it comes from
- How to work with self-criticism, shame, and difficult emotions
- The role of the body in mindfulness and learning to notice and trust physical sensation
- Recognizing that struggle is a shared human experience, not a personal failing
- How we treat ourselves shapes how we show up for others
- Informal practices for weaving mindfulness into everyday moments
This course is for you whether you are beginner or advanced meditator – all are welcome.
Class size is limited to 15 participants.
