Learn to identify and practice self-compassion

What is self-compassion? 

In this virtual workshop, we will review some of the myths about self-compassion in order to help us define what it truly means. We will then introduce the three pillars of self-compassion: mindfulness, common humanity, and kindness.

Through individual activities and group discussion, we will explore the benefits of self-compassion, resistance to it, and the origins of this resistance. You will learn strategies to incorporate self-compassion into your personal and professional practice, which can help reduce stress and strengthen relationships with your colleagues, clients, friends and family.  

Learning Objectives:

• Explore our thoughts, feelings, and internal dialogue about self-compassion
• Discuss the myths about self-compassion and what it is and is not
• Begin to understand the science behind self-compassion
• Learn what it means to “create space,” and to get curious about yourself with self-compassion, mindfulness, and personal awareness (using somatic awareness exercises)
• Gain an introduction to the three pillars of self-compassion and spend time exploring them through solo and group activities/explorations
• Learn strategies to incorporate self-compassion into your daily routine, which can help reduce stress, increase efficiency and improve relationships
