Self-compassion isn’t just a good idea, it’s something we can do. We can train our brains and build new habits to respond to mental, physical, and emotional pain with compassion. This class is based on Kristen Neff’s pioneering work in the field of self-compassion. Her new book “Fierce Self-Compassion” will help you understand and develop both tender and fierce self-compassion. It will teach you how to combine them to create a “caring force” that can be used in all areas of your life. These experiential exercises will assist in personally evaluating your self-compassion and well-being.

Paula Smith, a steering committee member of Compassionate Rochester, MN, a school psychologist, and a certified Dynamic Mindfulness Trainer through Niroga Institute, will facilitate this program.
