Short Course in Mindful Self-Compassion

Yes, a limited number of scholarships are available at half the full price. We typically make award decisions two weeks before the start date of each course.  Only applications submitted by that time are guaranteed a response.  To apply for a scholarship,  please fill out this form. You will select which start date you are applying for when you submit the form.  Please see our course policies for more detailed information.

Each session will be recorded and the link posted in the online course hub. You’ll have at least 60 days after the course ends to review the recordings, after which they will be deleted. While recordings are available, the course is designed to be experienced live.

The inability to attend live class sessions does not make one eligible for a refund. We encourage you to review our refund policy in its entirety here.

Upon purchase of the course, you will immediately have access to all community benefits.  You can get started exploring immediately.   If you do not specifically extend or upgrade your membership, it will expire in 6 months.

If you are already a community member, you will keep your current membership plan, but we will extend your next payment date by six months. After that, it will automatically revert to your current plan, unless you take action.

Once you register for a course, you will immediately receive several emails: 1) a receipt, 2) a confirmation email about the course, and 3) an email about your membership access. Please look in your spam folder if you can’t find these initial emails.

If you are a new member, you will also receive a welcome series for members to help you get the most out of your membership experience.  You can set up your member notifications to get the emails you want, and not the ones you don’t, in your member notifications center.

One week before the course begins, you will receive an important email with access to the online course hub and the Zoom link for the first session.

Two hours before each session, you will receive a reminder email with the Zoom link.

Twenty-four hours after each session, you will receive an email with summary materials and a link to the session recording.

We have participation guidelines to make sure everyone in the course has a safe learning experience. If, in the opinion of the teachers and facilitators, you are not able to participate productively and appropriately in the event you have registered for, you may be asked to leave or be removed from the course. Please see our policies regarding participant removal and refund eligibility.

Our programs are designed to teach participants the tools needed to develop and cultivate a self-compassion practice. They are not a substitute for mental health care, personal therapy, or medical treatment.

Personal safety and emotional wellbeing are the foundation of self-compassion training, and you are responsible for your own safety. Teachers and facilitators are not expected, or able, to provide medical and/or psychological care. Course experiences may bring up challenging memories or feelings.

If you have a history with a mental health condition or other concerns you think may impact your ability to take this course, please contact us or your healthcare professional to determine if this course is right for you. Your personal contact information may be used in the event the teacher or facilitator reasonably determines a need to call emergency services on your behalf.
