Mindful Self Compassion is a secular, research based curriculum created by Kristin Neff and Christopher Germer. MSC helps you cultivate self-kindness, connection, and awareness to enrich your daily life through a combination of meditation practices, reflective activities, and learning in community.

In the research, self compassion consistently correlates with wellbeing, including life satisfaction, gratitude, curiosity, autonomy, relatedness, lowered distress, and improved resources for coping. Mindfulness has been shown to reduce anxiety and depression, aid in sleep, lower blood pressure, and help people cope with pain.

I teach free one-hour introductions online, one day introductory workshops, and the full 8-week-plus-retreat course, both online and in person.

In MSC classes we write, share, move, and learn together.

No prior mindfulness, self compassion, or meditation experience is required. MSC is a great program for beginners, for those of us who aren’t trying to become great meditators (like me), as well as for long time mindfulness practitioners and everything in between.
