What is Self-Compassion really?

Learning how to be more kind and loving to yourself so you can be more kind and loving to others.

Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) is a research based 8-week course designed to teach you the skill of self-compassion. www.centerformsc.org

In this 8 Week MSC Course you’ll learn to:

  • Understand the science of self-compassion

  • Handle difficult emotions with greater ease

  • Motivate yourself with kindness rather than criticism

  • Work with challenging relationships

  • Manage caregiver fatigue

  • Practice the art of self-appreciation

  • Teach simple self-compassion skills to others

What to Expect

Program activities include meditation, short talks, experiential exercises, group discussion and home practices.  MSC is a workshop rather than a retreat. The goal is for participants to directly experience self-compassion and learn practices that evoke self-compassion in daily life.

It is said that, “love reveals everything unlike itself.”  While some difficult emotions may arise when practicing self-compassion, MSC teachers are committed to providing a safe, supportive environment for this process to unfold, and to making the journey interesting and enjoyable for everyone.


This program is designed for members of the general public. It is non-denominational. Meditation experience is not necessary to participate in MSC. All are welcome!
