In a world that often feels uncertain, overwhelming, or divided—both globally and close to home—many of us are carrying more emotional weight than we realize. Our nervous systems are on high alert, our reserves are running low, and the pace of life rarely slows down to let us catch our breath.
Here, you’ll join two pioneering psychologists to learn why self-compassion is the hidden super-ability we all need to face today’s challenges with calm and confidence. Without it, the endless demands of life can make us vulnerable to burnout, anxiety, and emotional disconnection. But with it, we lay claim to an innate and trainable strength that returns inner balance, protects our calm and confidence, and revives our resilience and connection with others.
Join us to learn how self-compassion offers a powerful antidote to stress, and how simple, research-based practices can help you meet yourself—and the world—with greater kindness and strength.
Chris Germer, PhD, is a clinical psychologist and lecturer on psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. A leader in the integration of mindfulness and psychotherapy, he is a founding faculty member of the Institute for Meditation and Psychotherapy and a cofounder of the Center for Mindfulness and Compassion, Cambridge Health Alliance. Chris teaches internationally on the topics of mindfulness and self-compassion.
Kristin Neff, PhD, is an associate professor of educational psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. A true pioneer in the field, she first identified self-compassion as a measurable trait almost 20 years ago, and today there are more than 2,500 published studies on the benefits of self-compassion. Kristin is a cofounder of the Center for Mindful Self-Compassion and teaches workshops on self-compassion worldwide.
