The Power of Tender and Fierce Self-Compassion (Live with Kristin Neff in Amsterdam)

Life can be overwhelming, and the constant demands we face often leave us feeling depleted. Developing self-compassion isn’t just about feeling good—it’s about fostering the inner strength to navigate challenges with wisdom and care. This workshop will provide a unique opportunity to see Kristin Neff in-person, as she very rarely teaches in Europe. Learn from one of the world’s leading voices on self-compassion, and connect with others on a similar journey.

Don’t miss the chance to embrace the transformative power of tender and fierce self-compassion.

What You’ll Learn in This Workshop

Tender self-compassion embraces the power of acceptance to comfort and soothe. It’s about nurturing yourself with a gentle, validating presence. Fierce self-compassion, on the other hand, channels the power of action to protect and motivate. It’s brave, energetic, and encourages you to set boundaries and stand up for your needs. Like yin and yang, these two sides of self-compassion work together to create balance and wholeness. During the workshop, you’ll learn practical tools to respond to life’s challenges with greater self-compassion, including:

• Using tender self-compassion to accept yourself and your emotions with more ease.
• Using fierce self-compassion to protect your well-being and set healthy boundaries.
• Preventing and recovering from burnout by balancing these two complementary forces.
