SUMMARY:Mindful Self-Compassion with Beth Mulligan
DESCRIPTION:Fall Fundraiser\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n8 session series on Thursdays\, September 10 to October 29  @ 10 am – 12:30 pm\n\n\n\nInsight Community of the Desert in cooperation with Mindful Way is please to announce Mindful Self Compassion. This eight week program is designed to bring greater ease and well being to your daily life by combining the skills of mindfulness and self-compassion. This combination is a powerful tool for emotional resilience. \n\n\n\nBeth Mulligan is graciously donating all proceeds from the class to Insight Community of the Desert to help us overcome our current budget shortfalls. Please consider making additional donations to support our sangha or to help people attend who might not otherwise be able to participate.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWhat is Mindful Self Compassion (MSC)?\n\n\n\nMiindful Self Compassion was developed by Christopher K. Germer\, PhD\, leader in the integration of mindfulness and psychotherapy (www.MindfulSelfCompassion.org) and Kristin Neff\, PhD\, pioneering researcher in the field of self-compassion (www.Self-Compassion.org). \n\n\n\nMindfulness is the first step in emotional healing—being able to turn toward and acknowledge our difficult thoughts and feelings (such as inadequacy\, sadness\, anger\, confusion) with a spirit of openness and curiosity. Self-compassion involves responding to these difficult thoughts and feelings with kindness\, sympathy and understanding so that we soothe and comfort ourselves when we’re hurting. MSC is a compassion skills building class\, not a meditation class. It is a great follow up to any other Mindfulness program (MBSR\, Mindful Eating etc.) \n\n\n\nMSC can be learned by anyone. In this program you’ll learn: \n\n\n\nhow to stop being so hard on yourselfhow to handle difficult emotions with greater easehow to motivate yourself with encouragement rather than criticismhow to transform difficult relationships\, both old and newmindfulness and self-compassion practices for home and everyday lifethe theory and research behind mindful self-compassionhow to become your own best teacher\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Teacher\n\n\n\nBeth Mulligan\, PA-C is a certified MBSR teacher\, teacher trainer\, and adjunct faculty through the UMASS Center for Mindfulness.
