Event Details
Many spiritual and philosophical traditions, reaching back thousands of years, have cherished the concept that there is no formal boundary between self and other. Science has now started to demonstrate the transient, constructed nature of self, and that dysfunction in self-related processing is a transdiagnostic component of depression, anxiety, psychosis, and other mental health disorders. Clinicians who treat these conditions should understand the foundational tenets of self-transcendence and nonduality, and the role these experiences may play in helping to alleviate their patients’ experiences of suffering.
What are ways that therapists can work to loosen the grip of the idea of a separate self? How does this process unfold in cultures with less individualistic concepts of self? And how might therapists apply these perspectives in their clinical practice?
Join us for a mind- (and self-) expanding series with notable expert faculty in a new 5-week webinar format.

Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC)/Achtsames Selbstmitgefühl – Intensiv Seminar ist ein wissenschaftlich untersuchtes Programm, welches speziell für die Entwicklung des Selbstmitgefühls konzipiert wurde, in Berlin mit einer Mindestteilnehmer*innenzahl von 40 Personen. MSC bringt Teilnehmer*innen die wesentlichen Prinzipien und Praktiken bei, um schwierigen Momenten im Leben mit Güte, Fürsorge und Verständnis zu begegnen. Die drei Kernkomponenten von Selbstmitgefühl sind Freundlichkeit mit uns selbst, Mitmenschlichkeit und ein gelassenes Gewahrsein. Selbstmitgefühl kann jeder erlernen – sogar Menschen, die wenig Zuneigung in der Kindheit erfahren haben oder für die es sich unangenehm anfühlt, freundlich zu sich zu sein. Selbstmitgefühl ist eine mutige geistige Haltung, die uns widerstandsfähiger gegenüber Schaden macht, den wir uns häufig durch Selbstverurteilung, Grübeln und Selbstbezogenheit zufügen. Stetig zunehmende Forschungsbefunde zeigen, dass Selbstmitgefühl deutlich mit erhöhtem emotionalem Wohlbefinden, insbesondere mit weniger Angst, Depression und Stress, einhergeht.
Dieser Workshop ist eine der Zugangsvoraussetzungen für die Fortbildung zum MSC-Trained Teacher. Die weiteren Zugangsvoraussetzungen wie auch Kriterien zur Erlangung des MSC-Trained Teacher finden Sie HIER.

A workshop on the Core Skills for Mindful Self-Compassion, held over four half-day sessions with Kristin Neff, Ph.D. and Christopher Germer, Ph.D.
Held entirely online, with recordings available following the training!
This course is approved for 11 Continuing Education (CE) credits. See additional details on the Continuing Education Tab.
Developed by Christopher K. Germer, Ph.D., leader in the integration of mindfulness and psychotherapy, and Kristin Neff, Ph.D., pioneering researcher in the field of self-compassion, the empirically supported Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) training combines the skills of mindfulness and self-compassion, providing a powerful tool for emotional resilience.
Mindfulness is the first step in emotional healing—being able to turn toward and acknowledge our difficult thoughts and feelings (such as inadequacy, sadness, anger, confusion) with a spirit of openness and curiosity. Self-compassion involves responding to these difficult thoughts and feelings with warmth and support so that we comfort ourselves when we’re hurting and take action to make needed changes. Research has shown that self-compassion greatly enhances emotional well-being. It boosts happiness, reduces anxiety and depression, and can even help maintain healthy lifestyle habits such as diet and exercise. Being both mindful and compassionate leads to greater ease and well-being in our daily lives.
This workshop is completely live and online. Program activities will include short talks, meditation, experiential exercises, group discussion, and home practices. The goal is for participants to directly experience self-compassion and learn practices that evoke self-compassion in daily life.
No previous experience with mindfulness or meditation is required to attend this workshop.

Event Details
Many of us would say we’re burned out on the news or Zoom meetings. However, when burnout strikes, it’s hard to do much of anything. We feel drained, empty, irritable, or useless. We’re also likely to blame ourselves for feeling this way. Have you been there, perhaps during the pandemic, or do you know someone who has been burned out? That’s highly likely because studies show that 25-75% of workers around the world experience burnout symptoms.
Burnout happens when our work-life balance gets out of whack, usually through no fault of our own. We’re just doing the best we can. Common causes of burnout include excessive workload, lack of support, unfairness at the workplace, and moral distress. People who care deeply about their work are also more likely to get burned out, as are those who base their self-worth on their work, have a tendency to sacrifice themselves, or criticize themselves when things go wrong.
Fortunately, self-compassion is an antidote to burnout, and there are many research studies that support this claim. We also have an empirically-supported training for healthcare workers derived from the Mindful Self-compassion (MSC) program—Self-Compassion for Healthcare Communities. Recently, Kristin Neff and Chris Germer wrote a new book, to be published in September 2024, tentatively titled The Mindful Self-Compassion Toolkit for Burnout. This book, written in an easy style for exhausted readers, adapts MSC concepts and practices specifically for burnout.
This experiential workshop consists of talks, meditation, exercises and discussion. It is designed for people with some familiarity with self-compassion concepts.

Event Details
The MSC Teacher Training consists of an intensive, 7 days, with a residential program format provided by a team of senior teachers. Teacher training is built around the eight weekly sessions of MSC: half a day is dedicated to a condensed, experiential review of each of the sessions, followed by subgroup activities. These activities are designed to give opportunities to those who are being trained to play the role of teachers, so that they will teach topics, guide practices and facilitate the process of research in the session to the rest of their colleagues, with the direct supervision of each of the Senior teachers. In addition, the training includes short talks, general group exercises, sharing about practices and periods of silence. In addition, participants will be provided with essential materials to teach the basic 8-week MSC program.
