Reflections from Past Students
"I really appreciate the range of practices that are taught in MSC - that there are actions I can take in a matter of moments to be more compassionate, and that there is intentional longer meditation practices built in. The range of options feels so useful and makes ongoing practice seem more accessible".

"I really enjoyed this course. Connecting with the teachers and all the participants for the 8 weeks was lovely. The space we created as a group was safe for sharing and allowing ourselves to be vulnerable. I came away with a variety of tools to use and look forward to making them my own. I was sad to have the course end since I enjoyed the self-kindness it promoted each week".

This course provides excellent and concrete ways to learn how to be self-compassionate, which is so key for improving symptoms of anxiety and/or depression.
