In our relentless pursuit to be the best version of ourselves, we sometimes fall prey to perfectionism and self-criticism. What once was a way to survive or motivate ourselves, ultimately becomes the very thing that traps us from moving forward in life. Although we might be equipped to treat others with generosity and grace, when it comes to unlocking our own cages of suffering, we find ourselves dysregulated and exhausted as we desperately seek to reclaim our freedom.

If the above paragraph resonates with you, the self-compassion workshop was designed with you in mind. Mindful self-compassion is a kind, yet fiercely rebellious approach that tips a perfectionistic world on its head. After all, “You can’t have a new reality with an old mentality.” Research shows that people who practice self-compassion are happier, less stressed, and more resilient.

This workshop serves adults (18+ years of age), providing in-depth information on mindful self-compassion; personalized guidance for identifying areas of growth; and replicable instructions for completing exercises — both individually and with the collective support of the group. As a result, participants learn how to develop a sustainable self-compassion practice, hold themselves accountable, and embrace themselves with the same understanding and warmth that they so often extend to others.
