Refund and Event Policies

In difficult times, the skills and reflections offered from the Mindful Self Compassion (MSC) program can help you show up for yourself just as you would a friend. In this one-hour workshop, InsightLA’s MSC teachers will be offering you some experiential work, giving you a taste of how MSC could move from a concept to a living reality in your own life.

Join InsightLA teachers in one of two rooms to explore this work: (1) a beginners (or refreshers!) room, for those who would like an introduction to MSC and some beginning felt-sense MSC experiences and tools with some discussion time; and (2) a room for those who have taken the course before, where teachers will guide participants through the 3 core MSC meditations, mostly in silence.
