Through compassionate imagery and mindful self-compassion, we cultivate positive emotions as a way of building up an inner resource, from which we can approach the difficulties that are part and parcel of being alive. We then approach the self-critic: that persistent inner voice that is harsh and condemning, and always finding fault in what we do.  What it would be like to cultivate an inner voice that is kind and supportive, and to live life from this place, rather than from a place of destructive self-criticism?\nIn the course of the journey we move from self-compassion towards compassion for others, exploring practices which help us find balance and perspective beyond our narrow preferences, generating love and friendliness to our inner and outer worlds, responding appropriately to pain and suffering while also appreciating the good things in our lives, integrating compassion into all that we do. As there is a strong emphasis on the experiential nature of the course, there are home practice suggestions between the sessions that include regular compassion practice and daily life exercises.\nThis course takes place over three weekends, or over one weekend and a 5-day retreat, and is spread out over a six month period. It aims to enable participants to develop their mindfulness practice by training in compassion. The course is themed over the weekend and retreat:\n\n\nSelf Compassion\nCompassion for Others\nCompassion in Action\n\n“I feel this is a journey and not an end point – the learning is so rich and experiential”\nTake some time out of your busy life to relax, nurture and rest as we learn how to cultivate compassion in our lives.\nYou can read Fay’s blog about Compassion HERE\nTutor: Fay Adams\nPart One\nTuesday 12th November 2024\nTuesday 19th November 2024\nTuesday 26th November 2024\nTuesday 3rd December 2024\nTuesday 10th December 2024\nPart Two- \nTuesday 7th January 2025\nTuesday 14th January 2025\nTuesday 21st January 2025\nTuesday 28th January 2025\nTuesday 4th February 2025\nPart Three-\nTuesday 25th March 2025\n\nTuesday 1st April 2025\nTuesday 8th April 2025\nTuesday 15th April 2025\nTuesday 22nd April 2025\n\nCost: £495.00 for all three parts payable in three monthly instalments of £165.00.\nBooking info: Please contact info@mindfulnessassociation.net ( mailto:info@mindfulnessassociation.net ) for the booking link.\nTimes: The course will run from 19.00pm till 21.00pm on a Tuesday evening.\nLocation: Online via Zoom.\n URL:https://www.mindfulnessassociation.net/course/mindfulness-level-2-responding-with-compassion-3/ CATEGORIES:Continuing Professional Development,Featured – Grid,Latest Courses,Level 2 - Compassion,Online Courses LOCATION:Online ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.mindfulnessassociation.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/COMPASSION-LEVEL-2.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
