8 Week Mindful Self-Compression Course
About the Course
This 8-week Mindful Self-Compassion course offers a supportive space to explore what it means to relate to yourself with greater kindness, steadiness, and care. Rooted in research on mindfulness and self-compassion, the practices you’ll learn have been shown to support emotional well-being, ease symptoms of anxiety and depression, strengthen resilience in the face of stress, and encourage healthier, more connected relationships.
Each week includes a blend of guided meditations, reflective practices, group discussion, and experiential exercises designed to help you bring these skills into everyday life. Together, we’ll explore themes such as:
Bringing mindfulness and self-compassion into daily moments
Meeting difficult emotions and situations with more ease and support
Learning to motivate yourself through encouragement rather than self-criticism
Deepening compassion to support more meaningful relationships
Cultivating the ability to savour positive experiences and appreciate yourself
Understanding self-compassion in the context of caregiver stress and fatigue
Exploring the science behind how self-compassion supports well-being
Over time, this practice can gently shift the way you relate to yourself. Instead of meeting struggle or imperfection with harsh self-judgment, you begin to meet it with awareness and care—right in the midst of real life. With continued practice, this growing capacity for presence, kindness, and connection can support greater emotional balance, resilience, and ease.
Course Format
This course runs over eight weekly live sessions, along with a half-day online retreat designed to give you a little more space to slow down and deepen your practice.
We also gently draw on The Mindful Self-Compassion Workbook by Kristin Neff and Christopher Germer, which some participants like to use alongside the course to support their learning. It’s completely optional, but can be a helpful companion if you enjoy reading and reflection between sessions.
What to Expect
We meet live on Zoom each week, where you’ll see both the teacher and other participants. The sessions are interactive and engaging, with a mix of guided teaching, group reflection, and both small and large group discussions—similar to what you might experience in a classroom setting, but from the comfort of your own space.
No previous experience with mindfulness or self-compassion is needed. That said, some people choose to join after completing an MBSR or MBCT course as a next step in their practice. During the course, we recommend setting aside around 30 minutes a day for informal practice to help integrate what you’re learning.
This course is not intended as a treatment for any specific psychological or physical condition, and it may not be suitable if you are currently experiencing severe difficulties. If you’re unsure, we encourage you to get in touch with us at Kinderie4@gmail.com or read our FAQs—we’re happy to help you decide whether it feels like the right fit.
What You’ll Need
A desktop, laptop, or tablet with access to Zoom
A webcam and microphone
A stable internet connection
A quiet, private space where you can feel comfortable and undisturbed
