Half-day of Mindful Self-Compassion:Anchoring Ourselves Before the Holiday WhirlwindExplore a taste of Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) in a half-day virtual retreat before the holiday season kicks off.MSC teachings are based on the revolutionary research of self-compassion by Dr. Kristin Neff. Compelling findings from a growing mountain of research studies show that self-compassion is strongly associated with emotional well-being, increased resilience, lower levels of anxiety and depression, healthy habits such as diet and exercise, and more satisfying personal relationships.The good news is: self-compassion can be learned by anyone - including you.The three core principles of self-compassion will guide our exploration together: Mindfulness: a caring acknowledgement of the stress and struggle we experience. Common Humanity: the awareness that all of us struggle sometimes and we are not alone in that struggle. Kindness: responding to our struggle and to ourselves as we might respond to a dear friend who is struggling.Through practicing these three core principles of self-compassion, we learn to meet our struggles with courage, gentleness, skill, resilience, and maybe even some ease occasionally.Teachers: Bob Gillespie, PhD and Emily Hagenmaier, LCSW bring heart, pop culture references, depth, and humor to the MSC curriculum. We hope you will join us for an afternoon caring for ourselves with authenticity, warmth and compassion. Bob and Emily recently interviewed each other about the impact of self-compassion on their lives. Read their full interview here.
