Mindful Self-Compassion Retreat
Befriending the Inner Critic


Self-compassion has been identified as a key ingredient in mindfulness that makes it so successful. Burgeoning research shows that self-compassion is powerfully associated with mental and physical wellbeing. This retreat will explore the practice of self-compassion and the challenge of accepting the self-critic, and its motivation (to keep us safe).  There will opportunity to reflect on the self-critical voice (turning on the stress response), and how the self-compassionate voice would also like to keep us safe.

  • Anyone can learn self-compassion. In this retreat, each participant will have first-hand experience of self-compassion and learn ways to bring self-compassion into their daily lives to relate to their inner critic.
  • And it isn’t a lot of work. Self-compassion only takes a moment of dropping the struggle with pain, much as you might feel when someone truly understands what you’re going through and cares deeply about your wellbeing. This capacity is in each of us—we only need to tap it to feel the effects.
  • And it will make you stronger. Contrary to popular belief, research shows that self-compassionate people are emotionally stronger, kinder, happier, and they cope better.
     

Please join us for a hald-day retreat of self-compassion and see for yourself. You do not need any experience with mindfulness or self-compassion to attend. All you need is an open mind and a sincere wish to live your life more fully.

Participants will have freedom to take care of themselves - sitting, standing or reclining at any time during the program - mats, cushions and chairs will be available.
