MINDFUL COMPASSION: A PERSONAL PRACTICE WORKSHOP
with Prof Paul Gilbert OBE and Nicola Petrocchi
Author of Overcoming Depression, The Compassionate Mind and Mindful Compassion
Mickleover Court Hotel, DERBY
Mickleover Court Hotel, DERBY
28-30 October 2016
This workshop will focus on personal practice. It will give people direct experience of mindfulness and compassion practices drawn from a synthesis of Western therapeutic and Buddhist approaches as outlined in ‘Mindful Compassion’ (2013). By integrating mindfulness into the practice of compassion, we will find a step by step approach to cultivating the inner compassionate self.
By creating a stable base through mindfulness practices of soothing breathing and grounding, we will build on this by establishing a warm and receptive inner environment through working with voice tone, facial expressions and wise acceptance of our changing emotions.
Through conscious identification with qualities of strength, wisdom and commitment we learn to embody the compassionate self. From this place we are then in a position to relate compassionately to the parts of ourselves that struggle, and to broaden our compassion to other people in our lives. In this way we will experience the healing qualities that come from a stable and compassionate mind and develop new and transformative ways of being with our self and other people.
