How often do we find it easy to offer compassion to others, but difficult to offer it to ourselves? Cultivating self-compassion allows us to enter our own circles of care by applying the same support, understanding, and kindness we would to a loved one to ourselves. This Second Sunday Seminar will offer opportunities to discuss self-compassion, including how it is being understood and trained in connection with mindfulness. We will also explore practices that can be used to cultivate self-compassion each and every day, finding our own meanings, as well as sharing questions and experiences with each other.

Erin Galyen’s self-compassion journey has unfolded through her experiences with yoga and education. She has been teaching adults in the college setting for over 20 years, including co-teaching a course on the application of contemplative practices in education. She completed Sol Center’s yoga teacher training in 2015 and is currently a teacher-in-training with the Center for Mindful Self-Compassion. She plans to begin to offer Mindful Self-Compassion courses with the Sol Center in the near future.
