Do I need previous meditation experience?
No. The course is designed for both beginners and people who already have experience with mindfulness or meditation.
Is this therapy?
No. Mindful Self-Compassion is an educational and experiential skills-training program. Although the course may support emotional well-being, it is not psychotherapy and does not create a therapist-client relationship.
What if I miss a session?
Because the course builds from week to week, regular attendance is strongly encouraged. If you know in advance that you may need to miss a session, please contact us before registering so we can discuss whether the course is still a good fit.
Will sessions be recorded?
No. However, participants will have access to download recorded meditations.
How much practice is expected between sessions?
Participants will be encouraged to practice the skills between classes. The goal is not perfection or completing an assignment, but gradually bringing self-compassion practices into everyday life.
How will I receive Zoom information and course materials?
After registering, you will receive information about accessing the live Zoom sessions and the private online participant area, where course materials and resources will be available.
What is the refund or cancellation policy?
Refunda are not being offered at this time.
