Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) is an empirically-supported, 8-week training program designed to cultivate the skill of self-compassion. Based on the research and expertise of Drs. Kristin Neff and Christopher Germer, MSC teaches core principles and practices that enable participants to respond to difficult moments in their lives with kindness, care, and understanding. Self-compassion can be learned by anyone, and as a skill strongly associated with emotional wellbeing, it supports the maintenance of healthy habits, lowers anxiety, depression and stress, and leads to more satisfying personal relationships.

Cost
We believe strongly in making this class available to anyone who believes that it might be helpful in their life and is willing to commit themselves to do the work. Therefore, we offer this class on an honor-based "pay as you are able" system with suggested rates. The generosity of everyone paying as much as you are able towards your suggested rate directly supports our ability to offer the class to everyone regardless of finances.
Our suggested rates are:
If any of these levels are difficult for you, please consider the class anyway. No one is ever turned away for financial reasons. We ask that you decide what amount you can pay. This amount is a commitment and investment in your own process, and this amount helps support the financial health of the class and our ability to offer this kind of adjustable sliding scale. As such, the amount that makes the class possible for you works for us.
If you can pay more than the suggested rate, we appreciate this much and it helps us continue to offer the class in this way.

Refund Policy:
Full refund if cancellation 24 hours before the first class. After that, please reach out. If this time doesn't work for you, we'd love to have you back at a later date. Unless we are able to fill the spot with short notice, we would be glad to issue a credit for a future class. Thanks!
