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

Mindful Self-Compassion 8 Week Training
Bethlehem Centre, Nanaimo, BC, CanadaMindful Self-Compassion combines the skills of mindfulness and self-compassion, providing a powerful tool for emotional resilience. Mindfulness is the first step in emotional healing—being able to turn toward and acknowledge our difficult thoughts and feelings (such as inadequacy, sadness, anger, confusion) with a spirit of openness and curiosity. Self-compassion involves responding to these difficult thoughts and feelings with kindness, sympathy and understanding so that we soothe and comfort ourselves when we’re hurting. Research has shown that self-compassion greatly enhances emotional wellbeing. It boosts happiness, reduces anxiety and depression, and can even help maintain healthy lifestyle habits such as diet and exercise. Being both mindful and compassionate leads to greater ease and well-being in our daily lives.
