Life has it bumps on the road. Unfair, you might say. Feeling alone in these unpleasant experiences? Although you don’t always really know how others feel. And how do you relate to yourself in those moments? Rigorous? Critical? Judgmental? Or rather understanding and kind?

Some days you might cope more wisely than others. How would it be to become more agile in challenging circumstances? So that resilience increases and kindly motivating yourself becomes the new normal.

Compassion, of which self-compassion is a part, is about relating kind and supportive to challenges and outright suffering. Warmth and support as a fundamental starting point. It really is a skill. Many of us know how to offer support to a friend, a child, a family member. What if you could also take more care of yourself like that?

That’s exactly what the Mindful Self Compassion training is developed for. A gentle way to learn to experience kindness and happiness more consciously, to be more open to it. Without forcing and at your own pace. The training offers exercises, you choose how to develop them.

The program is designed by Kristin Neff and Christopher Germer. 

Self compassion as a means to more kindness, joy and resilience for yourself and others.

—program

  • 9 weekly gatherings.

  • 3 hours per gathering. (1 exception of 4 hours)

  • Handout and audio material to practice at home at your own pace.

  • 16 participants maximum. It is not a group therapy.

  • We focus on the experience (thoughts, feelings, body) during the exercises. Not the stories that nurture the experience. All experiences are welcome, also the lack of experience.

You learn how to—

  • Notice what you feel in the moment. Naming it as well as feeling it in your body.

  • Notice your own reaction to your inner experience. And possibly finding alternatives to it.

  • Inject more kindness in your life.

  • Realise you are a human when feeling unpleasantness and other humans experience these feelings too

  • Notice more what makes you feel good in life. So you can find ways to enjoy it even more.

The Mindful Self Compassion program is NOT a therapy nor wishes to replace any psychological or medical treatment.
