About the event
We spend so much of our lives offering kindness and understanding to others, yet many of us find it difficult to extend that same care to ourselves.
Join us on Saturday, October 17, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. for an introduction to Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC), the program developed by Dr. Kristin Neff and Dr. Christopher Germer through the Center for Mindful Self-Compassion. Led by Maureen Detwiller, a trained MSC teacher, we’ll explore a research-supported approach that helps us meet life’s challenges, setbacks, and everyday stress with more kindness and less self-judgment.
