Dr. Kristin Neff
This one-day workshop will provide simple tools for responding in a kind, compassionate way whenever we are experiencing painful emotions. Through discussion, meditation, and experiential exercises, you will gain practical skills to help bring self-compassion into your daily life. You will learn how to stop being so hard on yourself; handle difficult emotions with greater ease; and motivate yourself with kindness rather than criticism. Practices will also be introduced to help ease stress for caregivers. This course is relevant for the general public as well as to practicing mental health professionals.
This workshop is a benefit fundraiser for the Margaret Austin Center, a non-profit retreat center in Chappel Hill, TX. It is being organized by the Mariposa Sangha, and will be held at the Still Waters Retreat Center in Austin.
