“Cultivating a state of loving, connected presence can change our relationship with ourselves and the world around us.”

 

Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) is a skill that can be learned by anyone.  It provides emotional strength and resilience, allows us to admit our shortcomings, motivate ourselves with kindness, forgive ourselves, relate wholeheartedly to others and be more authentically ourselves. It is solidly supported by research and is being offered around the globe.

The next 8-week Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) program will be offered at the beautiful Roundhouse Farm only 15 minutes from downtown Victoria.  This training meets the requirements for those wishing to apply for teacher training with the Center for Mindful Self-Compassion (https://centerformsc.org/). 

Training includes: meditation; short talks; experiential exercises; group discussion; home practices; and a half-day retreat midway through the program.

​

After the MSC Training, you will be able to:

 

• Practice self-compassion in daily life

• Understand the empirically-supported benefits of self-compassion

• Motivate yourself with kindness rather than criticism

• Handle difficult emotions with greater ease

• Transform challenging relationships

• Manage caregiver fatigue

• Practice the art of savoring and self-appreciation
