Self-Compassion Cafe

A social cafe that gives you the opportunity to learn to treat yourself with loving kindness, just like you would treat a good friend. Learn a self-compassion practice, enjoy a tasty patch mini sweet treat and meet others looking to improve their self-care too.

In the company of other lovely people, and learn how to turn compassion inward and to care for yourself. Over a cuppa and cake, you will learn a new self-compassion practice that you can use anytime anywhere, to support your own wellbeing.

The Compassion Cafe will offers safe space for social connection, in a small group setting. Instead of being at home alone, enjoy a treat and togetherness in the community, building courage, self-love and social connections as you learn self-care and self-compassion.

Dr May Campbell Phd, our Self-compassion Teacher, will be leading this session. Your hostess is Kim Moore, who lost her husband Chris to alcohol dependency.

FAQs

Self-compassion is simply the process of turning compassion inward. We are kind and understanding rather than harshly self-critical when we fail, make mistakes or feel inadequate. We give ourselves support and encouragement rather than being cold and judgmental when challenges and difficulty arise in our lives. Research indicates that self-compassion is one of the most powerful sources of coping and resilience we have available to us, radically improving our mental and physical wellbeing. It motivates us to make changes and reach our goals not because we’re inadequate, but because we care and want to be happy. Source: Dr Kristin Neff
