Join us to cultivate the skill of self-compassion - an eight-week course

Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) is an empirically supported training programme designed to cultivate the skill of self-compassion.  MSC provides a powerful tool for emotional resilience by combining the practices and skills of mindfulness and self-compassion. Mindfulness practice provides a stable landscape whereas self-compassion is the action of bringing gentle and kind action to your experience.

 The three key components of self-compassion are:

• self-kindness – treating yourself like you would a dear friend
• a sense of common humanity – everyone suffers, you are not alone
• balanced, mindful awareness – seeing clearly what needs soothing

Research shows that self-compassion is strongly associated with emotional wellbeing, reduced anxiety, depression and stress, maintenance of healthy habits such as diet and exercise and more satisfying personal relationships.

MSC can be learned by anyone. It’s the practice of repeatedly evoking good will toward ourselves especially when we’re suffering. Improvements were linked to how much a person practiced mindfulness and self-compassion in their daily lives.
