Mindfulness is the first step — turning with loving awareness toward difficult experience (thoughts, emotions, and sensations). Self-compassion comes next— bringing loving awareness to ourselves. Together, mindfulness and self-compassion comprise a state of warm, connected, presence during difficult moments in our lives.

In this 8 week course, participants will learn:

* How to stop being so hard on yourself

* How to handle difficult emotions with greater ease

* How to motivate with encouragement rather than criticism

* How to transform difficult relationships

* Mindful and self-compassionate practices to use daily

For anyone interested in being an MSC trained teacher, this 8 Week Course meets the requirements for the first step of that learning journey.
