SUMMARY:Mindful Self-Compassion 8 week Training Nanaimo
DESCRIPTION:        \nThe Centre for Compassion Inspired Health teaches Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) – an empirically-supported\, 8-week\, training program designed to cultivate the skill of self-compassion. Based on the groundbreaking research of Kristin Neff and the clinical expertise of Christopher Germer\, MSC teaches core principles and practices that enable participants to respond to difficult moments in their lives with kindness\, care and understanding. \nThe three key components of self-compassion are self-kindness\, a sense of common humanity\, and balanced\, mindful awareness. \nKindness opens our hearts to suffering\, so we can give ourselves what we need. Common humanity opens us to our essential interrelatedness\, so that we know we aren’t alone. Mindfulness opens us to the present moment\, so we can accept our experience with greater ease. Together they comprise a state of warm-hearted\, connected presence. \nSelf-compassion can be learned by anyone\, even those who didn’t receive enough affection in childhood or who feel uncomfortable when they are good to themselves. It’s a courageous attitude that stands up to harm\, including the harm that we unwittingly inflict on ourselves through self-criticism\, self-isolation\, or self-absorption. \nSelf-compassion provides emotional strength and resilience\, allows us to admit our shortcomings\, motivate ourselves with kindness\, forgive ourselves when needs\, relate wholeheartedly to others\, and be more authentically ourselves. \nRapidly expanding research demonstrates that self-compassion is strongly associated with emotional well being\, less anxiety\, depression and stress\, maintenance of healthy habits such as diet and exercise\, and satisfying personal relationships. And it’s easier than you think. \nAfter participating in this workshop\, you’ll be able to: \n\nPractice self-compassion in daily life\nUnderstand the empirically-supported benefits of self-compassion\nMotivate yourself with kindness rather than criticism\nHandle difficult emotions with greater ease\nTransform challenging relationships\, old and new\nManage caregiver fatigue\nPractice the art of savouring and self-appreciation\n\nProgram activities include meditation\, short talks\, experiential exercises\, group discussion\, and home practices. MSC is a workshop rather than a retreat. The goal is for participants to directly experience self-compassion and learn practices that evoke self-compassion in daily life. \nMSC is primarily a compassion training program rather than mindfulness training like Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)\, although mindfulness is the foundation of self-compassion. MSC is also not psychotherapy insofar as the emphasis of MSC is on building emotional resources rather than addressing old wounds. Positive change occurs naturally as we develop the capacity to be with ourselves in a kinder\, more compassionate way. \nIt is said that “love reveals everything unlike itself.”  While some difficult emotions may arise when practicing self-compassion\, we are committed to providing a safe\, supportive environment for this process to unfold\, and to making the journey interesting and enjoyable for everyone. \nMSC includes 8 weekly sessions of 2 1/2 hours each\, in addition to a 4-hour retreat. Prior to registering\, participants should plan to attend every session and practice mindfulness and self-compassion at least 30 minutes per day throughout the program. \nFee for 24 hours of training $425.00 plus GST.\nSave your spot and register before January 1st\, 2017 Early bird registration fee is $375.00 plus GST.\n \nREGISTER FOR MINDFUL SELF-COMPASSION 8 WEEK TRAINING \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Mindful Self-Compassion 8 Week Intensive
DESCRIPTION:Self-compassion is a skill that can be learned by anyone\, even those who didn’t receive enough affection in childhood or who find it embarrassing to be kind to themselves. Self-compassion is a courageous mental attitude that stands up to harm—the harm that we inflict on ourselves every day by overworking\, overeating\, overanalyzing\, and overreacting.\n\nWith mindful self-compassion\, we’re better able to recognize when we’re under stress and face what’s happening in our lives (mindfulness) and to take a kinder and more sustainable approach to life’s challenges. Self-compassion gives emotional strength and resilience\, allowing us to recover more quickly from bruised egos to admit our shortcomings\, forgive ourselves\, and respond to ourselves and others with care and respect. After all\, making mistakes is part of being human.\n\nSelf-compassion also provides the support and inspiration required to make necessary changes in our lives and reach our full potential.\n\nMindful Self-Compassion (MSC) is an empirically-supported\, 8-week training program designed to cultivate the skill of self-compassion. Based on the groundbreaking research of Kristin Neff and the clinical expertise of Christopher Germer\, MSC teaches core principles and practices that enable participants to respond to difficult moments in their lives with kindness\, care and understanding. \nFacilitators: \nVictoria Pawlowski\, RD.\,M.Ed.\, RCC and Carolena Ranger\, MA.\, RD.\nTrained Teachers of Mindful Self-Compassion \nRegister Now for Early Bird Rate \nThis 24 hour course includes 8 sessions plus a 1/2 day silent retreat.and is a prerequisite course for the Mindful Self-Compassion Teachers Training. \n
