Description:
Self-compassion is simply compassion turned inward. It involves tapping into our larger, more connected and loving sense of self so we can send compassion to our more contracted, limited, and separate sense of self.

This workshop will focus on expanding your sense of who you are, so you can open your heart to yourself. It will provide concrete tools for responding in a compassionate way whenever you suffer. You will explore how to soothe and comfort yourself so you can handle difficult emotions with greater ease, and also how to motivate change with kindness. Through lecture, discussion, meditation, and experiential exercises, you will gain concrete tools to put self-compassion into practice in your daily life.

Sliding Scale: Our sliding scale options for this program include financial support for our teachers. Please consider paying at the highest rate that you can afford: your generosity supports the teachers as well as Spirit Rock, staff, and your fellow practitioners.

Teachings are appropriate for health care professionals as well as the general public. Self-compassion practices are crucial for healthcare providers as they encounter immense stress and emotional strain in their roles. By cultivating self-compassion, healthcare providers can better cope with the challenges they face, reducing burnout and increasing resilience. This self-care enables them to maintain empathy and provide higher-quality care to their patients.

At the end of the program you will be better able to:

• Identify the three key components of self-compassion;
• Describe key research that supports the benefits of self-compassion;
• Utilize techniques to increase self-compassion in everyday life, as well as in a clinical setting;
