  • Mindful Self-Compassion 5 day Retreat Nanaimo

    The Haven 240 DAVIS RD, Gabriola Island, British Columbia, Canada

    MSC teaches principles and practices that enable you (and your clients) to respond to life’s difficult moments with kindness, care and understanding.

    Rapidly expanding research demonstrates that self-compassion is strongly associated with emotional wellbeing, reduced anxiety, depression and stress, maintenance of healthy habits such as diet and exercise, and satisfying personal relationships.

    Self-compassion can be learned by anyone. It’s a skill that provides emotional strength and resilience, allowing us to admit our shortcomings, motivate ourselves with kindness, forgive ourselves when needed, relate wholeheartedly to others, and be more authentically ourselves.

    Through talks, exercises, meditation, discussion, poetry, and short films this program shows you how to:

    Practice self-compassion in daily life
    Understand the science of self-compassion
    Motivate yourself with kindness rather than criticism
    Handle difficult emotions with greater ease
    Manage caregiver fatigue
    Teach self-compassion exercises to clients
    This program is open to helping professionals and anyone wishing to bring more self-compassion into their life.

This workshop will introduce the research and practice that have been show to make all the difference. You will take away practices you can start using immediately with yourself and your students.
