 assionate awareness of others and self.\nThis participatory\, practical in
 troductory class includes:\n\nDefinitions and benefits of mindfulness and 
 self-compassion\nBody and breath awareness practices that cultivate kindne
 ss and acceptance\nGroup dialogue and small group discussion\nSuggestions 
 on resources for ongoing practice and how to apply self-compassion at work

 icularly our 8-week Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) class\, with this free i
 ntroduction.\nMindfulness is the first step in emotional healing - being a
 ble to turn toward and acknowledge our difficult thoughts and feelings (su
 ch as inadequacy\, sadness\, anger\, confusion) with a spirit of openness 
 and curiosity. Self-compassion involves responding to these difficult thou
 ghts and feelings with kindness\, sympathy and understanding. We're then a
 ble to soothe and comfort ourselves when we're hurting. Research has shown
  that self-compassion greatly enhances emotional well-being. It boosts hap
 piness\, reduces anxiety and depression\, and can even help maintain healt
 hy lifestyle habits such as diet and exercise.\nJoin us!\n[/et_pb_text][et

 d. In times of transition and loss\, it’s common to feel untethered and 
 just as common to turn inward with self-judgment\, pressure to “handle i
 t better\,” or the sense that we’re the only one struggling. \nThis g
 entle 6-week course offers a different way to meet your experience: with k
 indness and steadiness. Grounded in the evidence-based practices of Mindfu
 l Self-Compassion (MSC)\, you’ll learn simple tools to support your nerv
 ous system\, soften harsh inner talk\, and bring a caring presence to what
 ’s hard\, without forcing positivity or rushing your process. \nNo medi
 tation experience is needed\, and you don’t need to have the “right wo
 rds.” You’re welcome exactly as you are. We gather in community becaus
 e loss and transition can feel isolating and practicing together helps us 
 remember: you’re human\, and you’re not alone. \n\nWEEKLY THEMES (6 W
 EEKS):\n\n\nSelf-compassion in mind + body: What it means… and what it
  feels like to be on your own side\nWhen part of you resists: Meeting 
 “I don’t want to” and “I can’t” with gentleness instead of for
 ce\nFinding your compassionate voice: Shifting inner talk from harshness t
 o support\nLetting life be messy: Making room for resilience and imperfe
 ction\nAcceptance as a process: Exploring the stages of acceptance with ki
 ndness (without rushing)\nMaking it count: Bringing what you’re learning
  into daily life—moment by moment\n\nThis course also includes an online
 \, all-day retreat. We'll share a spacious day to deepen practice\, restor
 e\, and integrate what you’re learning in a supportive circle. Retreat c
 apacity is limited to 40 participants.\nYou’ll leave with practical\, su
 pportive tools you can return to again and again\, steady companions for m
 eeting difficult moments with more kindness\, clarity\, and ease. \n[/et_

 ave you ever noticed a familiar message appearing when you’re struggling
  or feeling vulnerable? I should be handling this better. Why am I still 
 affected by this? What’s wrong with me? Everyone else seems fine. Maybe 
 I’m just not enough.\nWe don’t always recognize these messages as sham
 e. We may simply believe them.\nIntroduction to Self-Compassion for Shame 
 is a gentle\, 90-minute exploration of how shame can show up in our everyd
 ay lives and how the self-compassion practices we already know can help us
  begin to notice shame with a little more space\, kindness\, and perspecti
 ve.\nThis gathering is a doorway into the 8-week Self-Compassion for Sham
 e: Returning Home to Yourself course. You’ll have a chance to experience
  the approach\, learn more about the full course\, and consider whether yo
 u’d like to continue into this deeper exploration.\n\nPREREQUISITE: \nP
 articipants need to have completed the 8-week Mindful Self-Compassion cour
 se at least one year ago and have an ongoing MSC practice. The foundationa
 l MSC practices should already feel familiar and available to you. Then\, 
 our 8-week Self-Compassion for Shame course will build on that foundation 
 as we learn to bring self-compassion more fully to the experience of shame
