For the first time in three years, MSC founders Dr. Kristin Neff and Dr. Chris Germer are offering a rare in-person Core Skills Workshop! This unique opportunity, hosted by the Center for Mindful Self-Compassion, allows participants to experience their guidance firsthand in a live setting. The MSC Core Skills workshop, is designed for individuals who want to integrate self-compassion into their personal lives and professional work. It is open to the general public and provides a total of 12 hours of training over two days.
When we fail, make mistakes, or are faced with life challenges, it's easy to feel overwhelmed, inadequate, and disconnected from ourselves and others. In these moments, self-compassion, especially when practiced in community, can serve as a powerful tool for grounding, healing, and connection.
By offering ourselves the same kindness, understanding, and care that we would a close friend, we can navigate the imperfections of life with greater self-acceptance, resilience, and clarity. Practicing self-compassion in community helps us reconnect with our inner and collective wisdom, fostering a sense of inner peace and strength.
Dr. Neff and Dr. Germer, the pioneers who created the empirically-supported Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) program and co-founded of the Center for Mindful Self-Compassion, are donating their time to lead this valuable experience. The event takes place from 9-4:30pm Pacific Time over two days.
