In today's fast-paced world, finding moments of self-compassion can be challenging. Yet, it is one of the most crucial elements for maintaining mental and emotional well-being. In our latest video, we have the privilege of hearing from Michelle Becker, LMFT, and Steve Hickman, PsyD, interviewed by Dr. Cassandra Vieten, Director at the Center for Mindfulness.
In June 2023, something truly special took place at the Marina Village Conference Center, as 31 participants came together for the first in-person Mindful Self-Compassion Intensive since the pandemic. The event, held in a picturesque location just minutes away from the open waters of the Pacific, was led by the experienced CFM teachers Megan Prager and Noriko Morita Harth, with the invaluable support of Hyun-Chung (Helen) Kim as a Mental Health Assistant.
Is it possible in this time to stay informed and not be totally overwhelmed?

Another way to say this is, our greatest obstacle to peak performance is often ourselves.
