Gain practical skills to help bring self-compassion into your daily life. Develop tools to help handle difficult emotions with greater ease, and to motivate yourself with kindness rather than criticism. The six-week class provides opportunities for more in-depth study and practice.

Participants of this program will learn some of the core skills of the 8-week Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) program developed by Kristin Neff and Christopher Germer. MSC is an empirically supported and internationally recognized program designed to cultivate self-compassion by teaching skills for responding in a kind, compassionate way whenever we are experiencing painful emotions.

This session provides an overview of mindfulness and simple yet highly effective strategies and guidance to help us be more resilient and make that shift, moment by moment of our lives, into a more spacious, clear, reliable, and loving connection with ourselves and the world.

We will explore various mindfulness meditations including sitting, walking, loving-kindness, and compassion meditations, as well as mindful movements. For beginners and experienced meditators alike. Mindfulness practices will have enough guidance to allow people of all levels of meditation practice to attend. This workshop will be held in silence, allowing one to develop concentration and insight.

This is not your typical training course. Participants go through the training alongside others who are putting mindfulness into action at work. Unlike mindfulness apps, participants get human interaction to help stay accountable. Extra support is available in our private Facebook group, where participants can ask questions and interact with each other and with the course’s facilitator, Chris George.

Chris is also available to answer individual questions via email and during the three live webinar sessions. Participants can track their own progress, and group leaders can track the progress of team members to ensure the training has been utilized.

The program requires effort and consistency. Mindfulness and meditation can only be of lasting value if you have the discipline to practice regularly, as well as the motivation to try and be mindful throughout your day. Daily practice is expected.

Meditation is an important part of mindfulness, whether you initially enjoy it or not, as it awakens you to your current situation. When you practice with an alert and open mind for just a little bit of time, you will begin to recognize the benefits that naturally occur and become accustomed to the practice.

One-on-one coaching for people interested in personalized guidance and support with beginning or maintaining a mindfulness and meditation practice and cultivating greater well-being and happiness.

I base my coaching on the person-centered and strengths approach based on the belief that individuals have within themselves vast resources for self-understanding and for altering their self-concepts, basic attitudes, and self-directed behavior.

I coach individuals with a gentle and kind approach with compassion, empathy, acceptance, understanding, and an open heart. I ask pertinent questions, to assist you, the client, in moving forward to create the discipline and vision for your life. I use reflective inquiry to explore your next steps and clarify your goals.
