Description:
Self-compassion flows from the desire to alleviate our suffering. Sometimes this requires tender acceptance—“being with” ourselves in all our glorious imperfection. But self-compassion isn’t always soft and yielding. Sometimes we need to be fierce, stand up for ourselves, or find the courage to forge a new path. This workshop will provide skills for responding in a compassionate way whenever we suffer. We will explore the role of tender and fierce self-compassion in our lives, understanding how to soothe and comfort ourselves so we can handle difficult emotions with greater ease, but also to draw boundaries, fight against injustice, or motivate change. Through lecture, discussion, meditation, and experiential exercises, you will gain concrete tools to put self-compassion into practice in your daily life. This course is relevant for the general public as well as to mental health professionals.

Bonus sessions:
Cassondra Graff, a highly trained self-compassion teacher and clinician, will offer a bonus practice session each day from 2:00 – 3:00 p.m. to support learning. The sessions are designed to help participants deepen their understanding of self-compassion, so that you can further process what you have learned in the workshop. Please note, Kristin will not be holding these sessions, and they will NOT be required for CECs.
