SUMMARY:Introduction to Fierce Self-Compassion\, with Kristin Neff 4/2026
DESCRIPTION:When most people think of self-compassion\, they consider the tender\, nurturing aspect of this mindset that allows us to be with our pain and accept ourselves in a supportive way. But self-compassion can be fierce as well as tender. \nFierce self-compassion involves taking action in the world to protect\, provide\, and motivate ourselves to alleviate suffering. It means saying “no” to others who are hurting us – drawing our boundaries firmly. It helps us to take a firm stance against injustice or unfairness without dehumanizing others. \nThis workshop will focus on the fierce aspect of self-compassion through lecture and experiential exercises. By learning to balance fierce and tender self-compassion\, you can begin to speak up\, draw boundaries\, and stand up for yourself with greater confidence.  \nThe workshop is most relevant for those who already have some experience and knowledge of self-compassion. \nCE Credits are available for live attendance at this workshop.  See below for details. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Self-Compassion for Shame\, with Chris Germer (April 2026)
DESCRIPTION:Shame can occur when we feel judged by others or when we judge ourselves. It can happen when we do something wrong and when we’re entirely innocent of wrongdoing. Whenever we feel bad about ourselves\, for whatever reason\, there is a touch of shame. \nShame makes us go small\, go silent\, or go away. Ironically\, shame itself is not the problem. The problem is that there is often no one home to work with shame. \nSelf-compassion is the antidote to shame. In this 3-hour workshop\, we’ll take a unique\, non-pathological look at shame through the eyes of self-compassion. \nAfter learning about the theory and research on shame\, you will have an opportunity to explore the personal and cultural causes of shame in your own life within the context of self-compassion\, then to resource yourself in the midst of shame as it arises in the moment. \nAt the completion of this activity\, participants will: \n\nExplain the theory and research on shame and self-compassion.\nDescribe how self-compassion is an antidote to shame – the 3 paradoxes of shame.\nIdentify individual childhood and cultural disconnections that lead to shame.\nApply new self-compassion practices to relieve the burden of shame in daily life.\n\n  \nWho can benefit from this workshop? This workshop is open to anyone interested in learning more about shame and self-compassion. It is an introductory workshop that starts the conversation on shame. It is important to note that it is a resource-building workshop rather than actual psychotherapy. This course is also open to professionals\, such as psychotherapists\, mindfulness teachers\, and educators\, who wish to bring fresh insights and skills for working with shame into their work activities. \nCE credits are available; see below for more information.
