Most of us feel compassion for our close friends when they are struggling. What would it be like to receive the same caring attention from yourself when you need it most?
This six-week live online series can help people impacted by cancer cultivate self-compassion, one of the greatest resources for coping and resilience that we have available to us. You will learn and practice the two sides of self-compassion: the gentle side (comforting, soothing, and nurturing) and the equally important fierce side that involves protecting, providing for, and motivating ourselves.
In each class, an MSK mind-body instructor will present on a topic related to self-compassion, lead meditations and exercises, and facilitate discussion.
Audience
This series is open to people who have been treated for cancer and their caregivers.
