SUMMARY:Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) 2-Day Intensive Therapeutic Retreat
DESCRIPTION:* Includes a half-day silent retreat. \nCome rest and experience the benefits of cultivating a kinder\, more supportive relationship with yourself in the beautiful town of Wolfville\, Nova Scotia.\nThis 2-day intensive is an adaptation of the Mindful Self-Compassion Short Course which originates from the empirically supported 8-week Mindful Self-Compassion program. This intensive is designed to begin cultivating the skills of self-compassion and offers an opportunity to learn about and experience mindfulness while spending quiet\, restful time with yourself.  Research shows that self-compassion significantly enhances emotional well-being\, lessens anxiety and depression\, boosts resilience and happiness\, leads to more satisfying relationships and can even help maintain healthy lifestyles such as nutritious eating and physical activity. \nWhat to expect\nParticipants will meet as a group over the course of 2-days.  The activities of the MSC intensive will include short talks\, experiential exercises\, meditation\, mindful movement\, group discussions and home practices. There will be a silent retreat during the morning session of the second day. \nCourse Themes Include:\n\nPracticing self-compassion / Self-compassion and mindfulness practices for daily life and moments of stress.\nDiscovering your compassionate voice / An exercise focused on motivation with compassion.\nSelf-compassion and resilience / A practice for working with difficult emotions.\nAddressing burnout / A practice for compassion with equanimity.\nLiving deeply / Journaling to reconnect with your values.\n\nDaily Schedule\n\n9:15 – 9:30 am: Sign-In\n9:30 – 12:30: Morning Session (with a 10-minute break)\n12:30 – 2:00 pm: Lunch Break\n2:00 pm – 5:00 pm: Afternoon Session (with a 10-minute break)\n\nIs this for me?\nThis group is open to anyone who is time-limited and still would like an opportunity to experience the transformational skills of self-compassion within an immersive\, retreat experience. This intensive retreat is also for health professionals who wish to begin integrating the core skills and principles of mindfulness into their work and/or are in much need of an opportunity to simply care for themselves. \nPlease keep in mind that this 2-day program is a more “intense” and immersive experience than an MSC program that is offered over several weeks.  Because self-compassion has the paradoxical effect of both soothing our emotional distress as well as opening us to the pain that we may have been unconsciously holding inside\, difficult emotions may surface during the program\, including past traumas. Hence\, the intensive format can potentially be more emotionally challenging in which to learn MSC\, so we urge careful consideration before enrolling. \nAlthough therapeutic\, our group programs are not a substitute for individual mental health therapy. \nMSC teachers are committed to helping participants feel safe and supported during the course. However\, participants agree at the outset that they will take primary responsibility for their emotional well-being. If you are unsure\, please contact Breathe Mindfulness Centre for further discussion of the best fit for your circumstances. \nMeditation experience is not required. \n** Most private health insurance covers the cost of this program. Please contact your insurance provider to determine whether therapeutic group sessions (in-person or online) offered by a Registered Psychologist are covered. \nTo make our therapeutic groups more accessible to everyone\, payment plans are available for those who require them. \nCompleted registrations indicate understanding and acceptance of our Payment\, Cancellation and Refund Policy. \nCLICK HERE for our policies \nRegistration\nEnrollment is limited. Pre-registration is required as are enough enrolments for the program to run. \nREGISTER HERE
