Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) is an evidence-based, 8-week course designed to cultivate the skill of self-compassion. Based on the pioneering research of Dr. Kristen Neff, the course includes short talks, experiential exercises, meditation, group discussion, and home practices.

MSC is mindfulness-based compassion training. With Mindful Self-Compassion, we can become aware of difficult emotions, recognize the common humanity in our struggles, and accept ourselves with greater kindness and compassion. Numerous research studies show that self-compassion is strongly associated with emotional well-being, coping with life challenges, lower levels of anxiety and depression, healthy habits such as diet and exercise, and more satisfying personal relationships. It is an inner strength that enables us to be more fully human—more fully ourselves. Fortunately, self-compassion can be cultivated by all of us.

MSC is designed for the general public, and prior meditation experience is not necessary to participate. The program is based on the values of equity, diversity and inclusiveness. All are welcome.
