The work of social change is hard and challenging. We need to be there for the long haul without losing heart no matter how defeating the task may appear to be.

This session on cultivating resilience through self-compassion, helps participants explore alternative ways to relate to disappointments, failure and challenges.

Through self-reflective exercises, you will learn to appreciate that much of the distress you experience in the face of disappointments and the vagaries of life is caused by your own conditioned ways of thinking. You will reflect on your own unhelpful thinking patterns. You will understand the role of self-compassion and its relationship to cultivating a growth mindset and resilience and learn strategies to cultivate the same.

Time: Friday, 12.00 - 13.00 IST (India Time UTC+5.5) on August 12th 2022 (check your local time here).
