 Self-compassion is a powerful practise of turning towards difficult feelings with a spirit of openness, acceptance and curiosity, and then responding with kindness, empathy and understanding. The rewards of learning self-compassion include:

*the capacity to handle difficult  situations and emotions with greater ease 
* being able to motivate yourself with kindness rather than criticism 
* handling  challenging relationships better  * increasing resilience and preventing  burn-out
* finding more joy and happiness in daily life

The good news is that self-compassion is a skill that can be learned by anyone, bringing a greater sense of ease, happiness and better health.  Anna teaches mindful self-compassion (MSC) as an 8-week programme in Auckland, New Zealand, as well as offering intensives, short workshops and day seminars by design.

Introductory self-compassion weekend workshops are also taught at Waihi Beach,
with restorative heart yoga (taught by Megan Troup) included in a magical two day retreat held by the ocean (2019 dates available shortly). Anna and Megan also offer private self-compassion
intensives for groups of between two and six people in an authentic Mongolian yurt, nestled in the bush at Waihi Beach. Ideal for couples, mothers-and-daughters, or small groups of friends who wish to learn these important practises from two  expert teachers, in an exclusive and unique setting.
