Come and enjoy a morning of Mindful Self-Compassion practice at Painshill Park. Local MSC teacher Diana Thornton will lead a series of meditations, gentle movement and pen and paper exercises to deepen your experience of mindful self-compassion.
There will be no theoretical discussions as part of this morning’s offering, just the gift of an extended time to immerse yourself in gentle mindful self-compassion.
There is now a great deal of research to show that if we are self-compassionate we are more emotionally resilient, suffer less from stress, anxiety and depression, maintain healthy habits such as diet and exercise and have more satisfying personal relationships.
Based on the groundbreaking research of Kristin Neff and the clinical expertise of psychotherapist, Christopher Germer, MSC teaches core principles and practices that enable us to respond to difficult moments in our lives with kindness, care and understanding using mindfulness and self-compassion.
