The Power of Mindfulness and Self-Compassion

Learn how mindfulness and self-compassion can change everything about how you feel, how you relate, and how you live ― for good.

In this workshop, Dr. Shauna Shapiro, a leading scientist studying the effects of mindfulness and compassion on well-being, shows us that acting compassionately toward ourselves is the key. She explains basic brain science and offers powerful research-based practices to alleviate anxiety, boost creative thinking, and deepen our sense of belonging and purpose. With practice, we can literally rewire our brains for greater feelings of calm, clarity, connection, and joy. 

This workshop is appropriate for anyone curious about mindfulness and compassion and how to deepen our connection with the beauty and mystery of life. We will immerse ourselves in the natural beauty of Esalen, allowing the sounds of the ocean, the magnificent views,  and the delights of the gardens to nourish and support us. All are welcome.

For anyone facing financial hardship, Dr. Shauna Shapiro invites you to contact her directly for tuition scholarship possibilities.
