A Rare Opportunity to Meet Kristin Neff in Person
Kristin Neff, PhD, is a world-renowned expert and pioneer in the field of self-compassion. As the author of the groundbreaking book Self-Compassion and co-developer of the Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) program, she has inspired countless people worldwide to embrace compassion as a transformative life skill.
This unique live workshop offers a once-in-a-lifetime chance to learn directly from Kristin Neff as she explores The Powerful Balance of Tender and Fierce Compassion.
Explore the Power of Tender and Fierce Self-Compassion
Self-compassion means treating yourself with the same kindness and support you would offer to a good friend in times of struggle. It’s about creating space for understanding and encouragement rather than judgment. In this workshop, Kristin Neff, a world-renowned expert on self-compassion, will guide you through the two vital expressions of self-compassion: tender and fierce.
What You’ll Learn in This Workshop
Tender self-compassion embraces the power of acceptance to comfort and soothe. It’s about nurturing yourself with a gentle, validating presence. Fierce self-compassion, on the other hand, channels the power of action to protect and motivate. It’s brave, energetic, and empowers you to set boundaries and stand up for your needs.
Like yin and yang, these two sides of self-compassion work together to create balance and wholeness. During the workshop, you’ll learn practical tools to respond to life’s challenges with greater self-compassion, including:
- Using tender self-compassion to accept yourself and your emotions with more ease.
- Using fierce self-compassion to protect your well-being and set healthy boundaries.
- Preventing and recovering from burnout by balancing these two complementary forces.
Who Is This Workshop For?

- For those familiar with mindfulness or self-compassion, it offers a chance to deepen your practice by focusing on balancing tender and fierce self-compassion. You’ll explore new ways to align strength with care, allowing you to embody self-compassion more fully in your daily life.
