This workshop is suitable for those who already have some experience with Mindfulness & Compassion.
We will revisit some of the core learning and practices from Mindful Self Compassion and we will also integrate some aspects from other approaches (Mindfulness Based Compassionate Living and Compassion Focused Therapy).
The emphasis will be on nourishing ourselves and practicing together in community.
