Session Highlights

1. REWIRE YOUR MIND FOR MINDFULNESS & SELF-COMPASSION

Presented by Dr. Shauna Shapiro
February 26: 7–8:30 PM GMT | 2:00–3:30 PM ET | 11:00–12:30 PM PT
Mindfulness is the foundation of self-compassion, and it is also the heart of how to train the mind. Shauna’s presentation will incorporate  her teachings on neuroplasticity and on "what you practice grows stronger". The talk will focus on how parents can "grow" self-compassion in themselves, which is the first step in how to practice with our children.

About Shauna Shapiro:

Dr. Shapiro is a leading expert in mindfulness and self-compassion, celebrated for her ability to blend the science of neuroplasticity with the art of mindful living.

Her presence in this course is truly exceptional, offering participants the chance to learn directly from one of the foremost authorities in the field.

Wendy’s presentation will explore how we can practice caring more deeply for ourselves, specifically as parents and caregivers. We will explore the intersection of parenting and self-compassion and learn some practices to support us when we, or our children, are struggling. We will also investigate what can get in the way of offering ourselves this kindness and care, and what are some skillful ways to address those barriers?

Growing Self-compassionate Children:

A Family Guide for Nurturing Resiliency and Kindness

By Wendy O’Leary and Louise Shanagher

Integrating self-compassion into family life is a profound gift that parents can give to their children and to themselves. This helpful guide teaches how to develop self-compassion for the whole family—with many activities, crafts, meditations, and games.
Studies show that self-compassion - being kind to yourself when things feel hard - builds emotional resilience and wellbeing.  It is a valuable quality for parents to nurture for themselves, to model in their families and to cultivate with their children.
This book for parents introduces the basic concepts of self-compassion, including the importance of an embodied, felt sense of deep care and love for ourselves, along with the research and benefits of self-compassion. It is filled with advice, encouragement, practical suggestions and practices to enrich family life.
