Tender and Fierce Self-Compassion. Soft Front – Strong Back.

  • Live Online-Workshop with Wiebke Pausch and Anja Benesch
  • June 25/26/27, 2021

With Self-Compassion we can access a sense of a loving, connected and supportive presence. Comforting and soothing practices are teaching us how to be with ourselves in a gentle and tender way, which helps us to gain inner strength. Fierce Compassion enables us to see a situation with clarity, giving us the courage to act skillfully and effectively in the world, for example by setting healthy boundaries and standing up for ourselves and others. Research has shown that self-compassion greatly enhances emotional wellbeing. It boosts happiness, reduces anxiety and depression, and can even help maintain healthy lifestyle habits. In this experience-based workshop we will explore both tender and fierce aspects of Self-Compassion and offer you theory and practices; activities include meditation, short talks, exercises and group discussion.

In this workshop you will learn…

  • how to comfort, soothe and validate yourself with Tender Compassion
  • how to protect, provide and motivate yourself with Fierce Compassion
  • how to take a Self-Compassionate Break from a challenging situation
  • Mindfulness and Self-Compassion practices for everyday life.
