Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC)

 
 

This program is an adventure in self-discovery, self-kindness, and a common sense of humanity.  The research-based curriculum is designed to cultivate the skills of self-compassion and to teach core principles and practices that enable participants to respond to difficult emotions and pain with a kind perspective and understanding.  Self-compassion provides emotional strength and resilience, allowing us to admit our shortcomings, forgive ourselves, motivate ourselves, care for others, and be fully human.

Learn the art and science of Mindful Self-Compassion, a key element of mindfulness practice and a foundation for emotional healing. Through this program you will learn simple yet transformative tools for coping and responding to life’s struggles with kindness and compassion.

Practices will include:
 – Meditation
 – Short Talks
 – Interactive and Experiential Exercises
 – Group Discussions

Who should attend this workshop?

Anyone who is interested in exploring and strengthening their relationship with themselves and building emotional strength and resilience through the cultivation of kindness and self-compassion would benefit from attending this program.

Mindful Self-Compassion is a complement to the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Program.  Mindful Kids Miami encourages everyone to deepen their cultivation of mindfulness by attending a MBSR Program either before or after attending the Mindful Self-Compassion Program.

“This journey has been amazing and I am so grateful you have brought it to us right here in our backyard.

I have found that many things I knew or heard many times throughout my life are finally sinking in, are finally clear.

Identifying clearly when I am reacting from the hurt child inside and really being able to separate the inner child from the adult I am today has been life changing…”
