Mindful Self-Compassion Course

Wellbeing is foundational to living well and creating lasting positive impact in our work

Most of us feel compassion for our close friends when they are struggling. What would it be like to receive the same caring attention from yourself when you need it most? All that's required is a shift in attention - recognising that you too are worthy of compassion.

Sequoia partners with mindfulness practitioners to offer this course on the skills of mindfulness and developing the resource of self-compassion for emotional wellbeing.

Structure of programme

Once a week for 2 months, sessions run for 1.5 hours each, covering the following objectives:

  • Articulate the basic theoretical underpinnings and research findings related to self-compassion
  • Develop self-compassion practices to motivate themselves with encouragement rather than self-criticism
  • Develop the capacity to contend with challenges through awareness of common humanity
  • Apply core self-compassion practices in daily life
