SUMMARY:8 Week Mindful Self-Compassion ONLINE PROGRAM: October 19 – December 7\, 2020
DESCRIPTION:Monday Evenings: 5:30 – 8:30 pm EST\nSILENT RETREAT: Sat. November 21\, 12–3 pm EST \n“Self-Compassion is simply giving the same kindness to ourselves that we would give to others.” Chris Germer\nDue to concerns and recommendations regarding COVID-19\, this program is being offered online via Zoom video conferencing. \nIn order to register and participate in the program\, you will need: \n\nAn email account to receive an invitation link for each session\nA computer/tablet/smart phone with access to stable internet connectivity\nA quiet and confidential location\n\nMindful Self-Compassion (MSC) is an empirically supported\, 8-week training program designed to cultivate the skill of self-compassion. Based on the groundbreaking research of Kristin Neff and the clinical expertise of Christopher Germer\, MSC teaches core principles and practices that enable participants to respond to difficult moments in their lives with kindness\, care and understanding. \nThe three key components of self-compassion are self-kindness\, a sense of common humanity\, and balanced\, mindful awareness. Kindness opens our hearts to suffering\, so we can give ourselves what we need. Common humanity opens us to our essential interrelatedness\, so that we know we aren’t alone. Mindfulness opens us to the present moment\, so we can accept our experience with greater ease. \nSelf-compassion provides emotional strength and resilience and can be learned by anyone. Rapidly expanding research demonstrates that self-compassion is strongly associated with emotional wellbeing\, less anxiety\, depression and stress\, maintenance of healthy habits such as diet and exercise\, and satisfying personal relationships. \nWHAT TO EXPECT \nMSC is a skill-based program offered in a group format. Program activities include meditation\, short talks\, experiential exercises\, group discussion\, and home practices. MSC is a skills group rather than a retreat. The goal is for participants to directly experience self-compassion and learn practices that evoke self-compassion in daily life. \nMSC is primarily a compassion training program rather than mindfulness training\, although mindfulness is the foundation of self-compassion.  The emphasis in MSC is on building emotional resources. Compassion is a positive\, energizing emotion\, however\, while learning self-compassion\, some difficult emotions may arise. MSC is not focused on working through old injuries\, instead the focus will be on developing the skills and resources to be with ourselves in a kinder\, more compassionate way\, which results in beneficial change.  The facilitators are committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for this process to unfold\, and to making the journey enjoyable for everyone. \nMSC includes 8 weekly online sessions of 3 hours each\, in addition to a 3-hour online silent retreat. Prior to registering\, participants should plan to attend every session and practice mindfulness and self-compassion at least 30 minutes per day throughout the program. \nPREREQUISITES \nNo previous experience with mindfulness or meditation is required to attend MSC. To ensure safety\, participants are asked to provide background information when they register for the program. The following books are recommended as companions to the MSC program: \n\nThe Mindful Self-Compassion Workbook by Kristin Neff and Christopher Germer\nSelf-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself\, by Kristen Neff\nThe Mindful Path to Self-Compassion\, by Christopher Germer\n\nThis program fulfills one of the prerequisites for becoming an MSC teacher.

SUMMARY:Self-Compassion 8-week Group
DESCRIPTION:WHAT IS SELF-COMPASSION? \nSelf-compassion is treating ourselves and our suffering with kindness and care\, rather then ignoring or hurting ourselves. \nThere are three components to  self-compassion: \n\nSelf-kindness opens our hearts to suffering; it enables us to give our-selves the kindness that we need.\nSense of common humanity opens us to our inter-relatedness;  it helps us understand we are not alone.\nBalanced\, mindful awareness opens us to the present moment; we can then accept experiences with greater ease.\n\nSelf-compassion provides emotional strength and resilience. It can be learned by anyone. Rapidly expanding research demonstrates that self-compassion is strongly associated with emotional well-being; reduced anxiety\, depression and stress; maintenance of healthy habits such as diet and exercise; and satisfying personal relationships. \nWHO WE ARE \nCentre for MindBody Health brings together a community of skilled health care practitioners. We specialize in compassionate\, evidence-based\, emotion-focused and mindfulness-based psychotherapies. \nSELF-COMPASSION GROUPS \nThe self-compassion group meets weekly with a defined goal: \n\nFor participants to directly experience self-compassion and learn practices to evoke self-compassion in their daily lives. In this way\, participants build their emotional resources.\n\nCompassion is a positive energizing emotion\, However\, in learning self-compassion\, difficult emotions may arise. We won’t focus upon working through these emotions. Instead\, we will develop the skills and resources to be present (with ourselves and these emotions) in a kinder\, more compassionate way. \nWHAT YOU WILL LEARN \nBy participating in this group\, you will learn to: \n\nPractice self-compassion in your daily life.\nApply your mindfulness and self-compassion skills in difficult moments.\nUnderstand the benefits of self-compassion.\nMotivate yourself with kindness rather than criticism.\nHandle difficult emotions with greater ease and practical resources.\n\nTHE GROUP LEADERS\n[divider height=”10″ style=”default” line=”default” themecolor=”1″]\n[one] \nDr. Nicola Hermanto\nDr. Nicola Hermanto is a clinical psychologist.

DESCRIPTION:Wednesdays Evenings from 6:30 – 9:00 pm  \nSILENT RETREAT: Sat. Nov. 16th 9:00 am– 1:00 pm  \nMindful Self-Compassion (MSC) is an empirically-supported\, 8-week training program designed to cultivate the skill of self-compassion. Based on the groundbreaking research of Kristin Neff and the clinical expertise of Christopher Germer\, MSC teaches core principles and practices that enable participants to respond to difficult moments in their lives with kindness\, care and understanding. \nThe three key components of self-compassion are self-kindness\, a sense of common humanity\, and balanced\, mindful awareness. Kindness opens our hearts to suffering\, so we can give ourselves what we need. Common humanity opens us to our essential interrelatedness\, so that we know we aren’t alone. Mindfulness opens us to the present moment\, so we can accept our experience with greater ease. Together they comprise a state of warm-hearted\, connected presence. \nSelf-compassion provides emotional strength and resilience and can be learned by anyone. Rapidly expanding research demonstrates that self-compassion is strongly associated with emotional wellbeing\, less anxiety\, depression and stress\, maintenance of healthy habits such as diet and exercise\, and satisfying personal relationships. \n  \nAFTER PARTICIPATING IN THIS PROGRAM YOU WILL BE ABLE TO: \n\nPractice self-compassion in daily life\nUnderstand the empirically-supported benefits of self-compassion\nMotivate yourself with kindness rather than criticism\nHandle difficult emotions with greater ease\nTransform challenging relationships\, old and new\nManage caregiver fatigue\nPractice the art of savoring and self-appreciation\n\n  \nWhat to expect \nThe MSC is a skill based program offered in a group format. Program activities include meditation\, short talks\, experiential exercises\, group discussion\, and home practices. MSC is a group rather than a retreat. The goal is for participants to directly experience self-compassion and learn practices that evoke self-compassion in daily life. \nMSC is primarily a compassion training program rather than mindfulness training\, although mindfulness is the foundation of self-compassion. The emphasis in MSC is on building emotional resources. Compassion is a positive\, energizing emotion\, however\, while learning self-compassion\, some difficult emotions may arise. MSC is not focused on working through old injuries\, instead the focus will be on developing the skills and resources to be with ourselves in a kinder\, more compassionate way\, which results in beneficial change. Dr. Shari Geller is committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for this process to unfold\, and to making the journey enjoyable for everyone. \nMSC includes 8 weekly sessions of 2 3/4 hours each\, in addition to a 4-hour retreat. Prior to registering\, participants should plan to attend every session and practice mindfulness and self-compassion at least 30 minutes per day throughout the program. \n  \nPREREQUISITES \nNo previous experience with mindfulness or meditation is required to attend MSC. To insure safety\, participants are asked to provide background information when they register for the program. \nThe following book is included as a companion to the MSC course: \n\nThe Mindful Self-Compassion Workbook by Kristin Neff and Christopher Germer\n\nAdditional recommended books\, before or during the course\, are: \n\nSelf-Compassion: The Proven Power of Being Kind to Yourself\, by Kristen Neff\nThe Mindful Path to Self-Compassion\, by Christopher Germer\n\nThis program fulfills one of the prerequisites for becoming an MSC teacher.
