The Buddha’s gift was not creating the truth,
but seeing it clearly and showing others how to see it for themselves.

Through practice, we can begin to recognize the reality that has always been present.

🪷 The Short Course in Self-Compassion
6-week program with Lisa Kring

📅 6 Thursdays October 8 - November 12
📍Santa Monica Meditation Center & Hybrid Online

Learn the skills we all need to meet life’s challenges with more wisdom and kindness.

Our abridged 6-week course, The Short Course in Mindful Self-Compassion (SC-MSC), will teach you how to hold yourself with tenderness and compassion when you need it most — when you fail, feel inadequate and are suffering.

Learn MSC’s key informal practices, as well as brief practices in mindfulness right from home.

MBSR students come from all walks of life, but they share one thing in common: the desire to find more balance, peace and happiness in their lives.

If you share these aspirations, MBSR can be a valuable resource for you.

Four decades of published research indicate that the majority of people who complete the eight-week program report greater ability to cope more effectively with both short- and long-term stressful situations.
