About this event

Sussex Mindfulness Centre, in partnership with the Centre for Mindful Self Compassion, is delighted to offer an online Mindful Self-Compassion event, as part of the "Centre for Mindful Self-Compassion World Tour"

This workshop is a 4-session, online introduction to Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC). MSC is an empirically-supported training based on the pioneering research of Kristin Neff and the clinical perspective of Chris Germer. The curriculum has been steadily refined since 2010 and taught to over 100,000 people worldwide.

The event will include 4 x online sessions (Wednesday 15th July, Sunday 19th July, Wednesday 22nd July and Sunday 26th July) between 4.00 - 7.00pm UK time. There will also be additional support available between sessions from experienced MSC teachers. A more detailed programme will be available nearer the time.

This event will be run on Zoom. You do not need a Zoom account to access this online event, just a laptop or computer with internet access and a webcam. Once signed up for the event, a link will be sent out to all participants.

This workshop is an opportunity to immerse yourself in the key practices and exercises of the 8-week programme, from the comfort of your home, taught by the developers of the MSC programme.

MSC combines the skills of mindfulness and self-compassion to enhance our capacity for emotional wellbeing. Mindfulness is the first step—turning with loving awareness toward difficult experience (emotions, sensations, thoughts). Self-compassion comes next—bringing loving awareness to ourselves. Together, mindfulness and self-compassion comprise a state of warm, connected presence during difficult moments in our lives and is particularly relevant during these difficult times.

The 4 sessions will be recorded and will be available to view by participants for 2 weeks after the event.

As this Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) core skills training program is delivered by the Center for Mindful Self-compassion, registration on the programme is on the understanding that delegates accept their terms and conditions which are available to read at the bottom of this page.
