Course Content: 

This workshop is partially based on the work of Kristin Neff, author of ‘self-compassion’ and ‘fierce self-compassion.’ It will explore how we can use self compassion to respond to set-backs and difficulties more effectively. We will use a range of tools including writing exercises, visualization and guided reflection to put our difficulties in a bigger perspective and gain resilience. 

 

Course Aims/Objectives:

Participants will learn:

  1. Definitions of compassion and self-compassion;
  2. How to use self-compassion meditations during times of difficulty;
  3. Techniques to put difficulties into a bigger context and learn to take set-backs less personally.

 

Course Method:

The workshop is run in the form of a small group training. The presenters will present information and will invite high levels of participation and sharing of knowledge and ideas. Prepared slides/handouts guide the process rather than impart information.

The following materials are provided:

  • Powerpoint presentations

- Participants to log on 15 minutes prior to start of each session.

- It is required that all participants keep their cameras on throughout the workshop.

- Participants to complete online feedback form post workshop.
