In this gentle one-hour session, you'll learn how to switch from self-criticism to self-kindness. Based on the work of pioneering researchers like Kristin Neff, this class introduces the three key components of self-compassion: mindfulness (recognizing suffering), common humanity (understanding that suffering is shared), and self-kindness (responding to yourself with warmth). We'll engage in guided practices such as "Soothing Touch" and

"Affectionate Breathing" to build a reliable inner resource of emotional support. Walk away with practical techniques for comforting yourself during moments of stress, failure, or difficulty, while fostering resilience and deep well-being.
