Cultivating Self-Compassion with Gentleness
th th
Friday 14 & Saturday 15 October 2016, in South Manchester
Inviting participants to move towards difficulty with compassion can lead to
emotionally intense moments arising in sessions. While these moments are very
significant for the individual's own learning and insight, it is essential that the
mindfulness teacher facilitating the session is well resourced and resilient so
that they can hold these moments without undue cost to themselves. In
particular, it is the teacher's capacity to offer kindness and compassion to
themselves in the midst of such intense moments that is so important for the
long-term resilient well-being of the teacher. This capacity is also at the heart of
teaching from a position of authenticity and implicit compassion.
This experiential workshop is primarily focused on exploring how these
resources for self-compassion can be cultivated as an ongoing process. There is
a particular focus on offering a kind and gentle attitude towards ourselves in
that cultivation of self-compassion. To do otherwise is to risk what has been
referred to as the “subtle aggression of self-improvement” (Sharples 2003).
Teaching the Body Scan Practice Skilfully,
Accessibly & Compassionately

Saturday 11 & Sunday 12 March 2017, in South Manchester
Whether you are new to teaching a body scan or very familiar with the standard
formats, this workshop offers training in a unique approach that opens the
Body Scan to those who struggle with this practice. There are many people who
experience their first Body Scan as a torment to be endured, potentially
creating such aversion that they might leave the course or need to overcome an
understandably distorted view of body based mindfulness practice.
The workshop provides a theoretical and practical framework that makes
adaptation of the Body Scan to specific needs much easier and more strategic.
This framework also makes it so much easier to teach both standard and
innovative forms of the Body Scan.
