5 WEEK COURSE  2 AND ½ HOUR. COST $250

In this powerful 5 week course, you will learn how to deal with life’s greatest challenges such as anxiety, depression, fear, grief and loss … and learn how to reach your greatest potential through meeting your own needs and living a life of purpose, connection and meaning.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

Everyone and anyone. All ages. Mindfulness and self-compassion can be learned by anyone. No experience is necessary.
The practise of mindfulness and compassion allows us to make healthy changes and face new challenges with greater success.
By learning simple tools you will cultivate more self-acceptance, change your critical self-talk and develop emotional strength and resilience.
You will walk away from each session with exciting new ideas and cutting edge techniques to achieve greater self-awareness and coping skills.

When we give ourselves compassion, the tight knot of negative judgement starts to dissolve, replaced by a feeling of peaceful, connected acceptance – a sparkling diamond that emerges from the coal.
— Kristen Neff.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

Each week we learn:

  • transformative practices for treating ourselves with kindness, honesty and love.

  • how to stop being so hard on ourselves

  • how to handle difficult emotions

  • how to motivate yourself with encouragement rather than criticism

  • how to transform difficult relationships, both old and new

  • how to start your own practise at home

  • easy tools and exercises to help you achieve your highest potential

Comprehensive notes … small classes … yummy food

The cultivation of compassion is no longer a luxury, but a necessity if our species is to survive.
— HH Dalai Lama

FEEDBACK FROM PREVIOUS PARTICIPANTS OF MINDFUL SELF-COMPASSION (2019)

Research has shown that people get a wide variety of benefits from the Mindful Self-Compassion workshop. People tend to learn the things that are of most benefit to them, and this will be different for each person.

Participants become more balanced in their approach to life – thus someone who is lacking self-confidence may become more assertive but someone else who is perhaps too confrontational with others may learn to see other viewpoints more easily.
