Self-compassion is not a passive practice; it is both fierce and tender. It is a practice that cultivates courage, resilience, acceptance, and love. Prioritizing the wellness of our inner lives is a radical act for many of us. It requires a willingness to show up for ourselves, especially when it is most difficult. As our self-compassion grows, so does our compassion for others. Genuinely caring for our well-being is essential to sustaining our care for others.
Participants will explore the 3 components of self-compassion (mindfulness, common humanity and self-kindness) and experience the radical practice of showing up for themselves. Each session will begin with a brief talk followed by meditation, reflective exercises, and sharing. Participants will leave each session with both an informal practice to bring into their daily lives and a recorded guided meditation. No meditation experience is required.
