Mindful Self-Compassion 5 day Retreat Nanaimo
The Haven 240 DAVIS RD, Gabriola Island, British Columbia, CanadaMSC 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.

Introduction to Mindful Self-Compassion
Centre for Compassion Inspired Health 678 Franklyn Street, Nanaimo, BC, CanadaSelf-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.
It helps us recognize when we’re under stress
face what’s happening in our lives (mindfulness)
and take a kinder approach to life’s challenges.
Join us for an experiential workshop that will teach you self-compassion skills you can begin to use immediately in your life.
“A moment of self-compassion can change your entire day. A string of such moments can change the course of your life.” Dr. C. Germer
