Mindfulness and Self-Compassion, 8 Week Series with Ruth WilliamsonMindfulness and Self-Compassion (MSC) is an 8 week series of 2.5hr classes, as well as a half-day retreat. MSC guides participants into a deeper understanding of self-compassion through talks, class exercises, meditation, poetry, movement and group discussion. MSC is an experiential workshop with its emphasis on the practice of self-compassion, rather than mindfulness. And while MSC is therapeutic, it is not group therapy. MSC is a structured program designed to cultivate the resources of mindfulness and self-compassion, not to heal old wounds. MSC works best with a full commitment to the 8 sessions, including the half-day retreat. It also benefits from a commitment to a daily practice of 30m of mindfulness and self-compassion (both formal and informal combined). October 3- Nov 21st, $125 Haven Members, $140 Nonmembers.
