An Evening of Self-Compassion with Carolyn McCarthy

Interested in learning to be kinder to yourself when you're suffering? Wish you had better tools for handling difficult emotions? Want to be able to motivate yourself with encouragement rather than criticism and start to leave that harsh inner-critical voice behind? Start here! 

Join local mindfulness and self compassion teacher Carolyn McCarthy on a 1-hour journey to becoming a friend to yourself. We will explore how mindful self-compassion practices open the door to a supportive and kind relationship with ourselves, reducing stress and enhancing well being. Carolyn will introduce you to the principles of mindful self-compassion and teach some basic practices, and you'll leave with a handout and a tool kit of simple practices to use at work and home.

        We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
