Spring 2024 MSC Course Participants Enter Here

Mindful
Self-Compassion

Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) is an emotional resilience building program. It is a 8-week online course designed to help participants meet old wounds in new ways, develop practical skills, and build the emotional capacity to face new challenges from a place of strength. 

Over eight weekly 2-hour experiential classes plus one half-day online mini-retreat, participants explore how they typically react when difficulties arise and learn instead to respond with the same kindness and compassion they would offer a dear friend. Thousands of academic articles on self-compassion point to the transformative power of meeting our pain with kindness. Self-compassion enhances wellbeing and the capacity for perseverance. 

No previous meditation experience necessary! 

Cost: $495 

Discounts: $150 discount for returning Rooted Resilience MSC students. $25 credit for a future Rooted Resilience class when you refer a friend who signs up!

Location: Zoom

The Spring MSC Course will be led
by Rooted Resilience founder
Katie Stockman, NP and Harvard/Brigham and Women’s Hospital neuroscientist Michael Ferguson, PhD.
