SUMMARY:Self-Compassion for Work Stress and Burnout\, with Kristin Neff
DESCRIPTION:Our work – both our paid employment and work as unpaid caregivers – is an important source of fulfillment. But work can also involve high levels of stress.  When the stress exceeds our capacity to cope\, we may feel drained\, empty\, irritable\, or useless. We’re also likely to blame ourselves for feeling this way. In other words\, work stress often leads to burnout. \nFortunately\, research shows that self-compassion is a helpful antidote to burnout.  The caring stance of self-compassion helps us to create work-life balance\, be less overwhelmed by stress\, and encourage rather than blame ourselves when things are difficult.  \nThis workshop will use lecture\, discussion\, and experiential exercises to help you learn to be self-compassionate so you can reduce work stress and burnout. Simple tools will be provided to help you cope on the job\, so you can support yourself when you need it most. \nThe workshop is relevant for the general public as well as to practicing mental health professionals. CE credits are available\, see below for more information.

SUMMARY:Cultivating Self-Compassion as Loving\, Connected Presence (in-person or online through Spirit Rock)
DESCRIPTION:Taught by Kristin Neff and Caverly Morgen\, this two-day workshop can be taken on location at Spirit Rock or online via Zoom. \nSelf-compassion is a powerful tool for emotional resilience in the face of suffering. It entails three main elements: kindness\, common humanity\, and mindfulness. One way to access self-compassion is by embodying these three components in their experiential form\, which entails loving\, connected presence. We can learn to untangle from our thoughts and emotions and rest our awareness in compassionate presence\, holding our pain. \nResearch shows that self-compassion is strongly linked to psychological and physical health\, but the practice can be hard to remember. Our physiology and culture doesn’t support the practice of being kind to ourselves\, especially when our distress is due to feelings of failure or inadequacy. In this program\, researcher Kristin Neff teams up with meditation teacher Caverly Morgan to explore self-compassion from a scientific and contemplative lens\, so that we can respond to difficult moments with greater warmth and ease.
