ABOUT
There has never been a more important time to learn practices and techniques to help cultivate stability, calm, grounding, connection, and uplift.
​
This course has the benefit of being taught by Lucy and Ethan, two senior teachers (with additional training in the new Fierce Self-Compassion programme) who bring a wealth of knowledge, and a gentle lightheartedness too! They are both qualified teachers of the Mindful Self-Compassion programme, and experienced facilitators and retreat leaders.
​
Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) is an evidence-based training program designed to cultivate the skill of self-compassion.
​
Self-compassion 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.
​
Rapidly 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!
​
AFTER THIS COURSE, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO:
​
-
Practice self-compassion in daily life
-
Motivate yourself with kindness rather than criticism
-
Recognise that expressing your needs and setting healthy boundaries is an act of compassion
-
Handle difficult emotions with greater ease
-
Transform challenging relationships, old and new
-
Manage caregiver fatigue
-
Practice the art of savoring and self-appreciation
This 8 week training officially qualifies as one of the pre-requisites for MSC teacher training AND Self-Compassion in Psychotherapy (SCIP) certification.
