DESCRIPTION:Suffering is inevitable but resistance is optional. Buddhism ca
 lls suffering the first arrow\, the one that is out of our control. Our re
 sistance to suffering is the second arrow\, the one we choose to shoot at 
 ourselves when we’re already hurting. Whether it is self-criticism for not
  being stronger\, or struggling with questions like “why me?\,” resistance
  is an understandable response when times are hard. Unfortunately this res
 istance makes an already challenging time even harder. There is a differen
 t way!&nbsp\;\n\nSelf-Compassion practices teach us how to be in relations
 hip with our own suffering in a way that reduces our suffering and shifts 
 the physiology of the body and brain towards safety and support. We will e
 xplore the spiritual understanding of these practices as direct access to 
 the everpresent loving awareness within.&nbsp\;\nYou will leave this after
 noon course with a powerful toolkit for resilience. What you will gain:\n
 \n\nAccessible 'educational' insights on the science of self-compassion\n
 \n\nAn understanding of the nervous system response to stress\n\n\nEmbodie
 d practices: Gentle meditations\, soothing self-touch\, mindful movement\,
  and guided reflection to integrate the learning\n\n\nA deeper connection 
 to the compassionate witness within\n\n\nA safe\, sacred space: We welcome
  your presence exactly as you are—with no pressure to share\n\n\nLasting c
 hange: These powerful practices offer evidence-based transformation throug
 h long-term habits that shift neural pathways\, creating a foundation for 
 lifelong resilience and well-being\n\n\nRegistration and payment - sliding
