Global Community of Mindful Self-Compassion

The international non-profit organization Self-Compassion Academy is based in The Netherlands and is the authorized international partner of the Center for MSC (CMSC) for the MSC teacher training pathway in Europe. The Self-Compassion Academy has been the official Host for the MSC teacher training since 2014 and the 8 week MSC courses, MSC intensives, MSC Core Skills Workshops, Fierce Self-Compassion and Self-Compassion for shame courses. 

At the Self-Compassion Academy, we teach in English to our international community. We are committed to creating a supportive and inclusive community where individuals from all countries and walks of life can embark on their self-compassion journey. Our approach is rooted in the three important principles of mindful self-compassion: mindfulness, self-kindness, and common humanity. At the Self-Compassion Academy, we value the diverse and extensive experience of our teachers, who bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the classroom. All our teachers are Certified MSC Teachers and our Teacher Trainers are highly qualified.

Mila de Koning, the founder of the Self-Compassion Academy, works closely together with Christopher Germer, Kristin Neff and other executives at CMSC. As we are devoted to spreading self-compassion around the globe we have the same values as The Center for Mindful Self-Compassion and with MSC Europe.
