Recovery & Wellbeing College: Discovering Self-Compassion

Thursday 13 August 2026 | 2:00pm – 4:00pm

Location: VM Meeting Room

Discovering Self-Compassion

Do you find that you are often harder on yourself than you would be on others? Do you focus more on your mistakes than your strengths, or sometimes feel that you are not good enough?

This supportive and reflective session will introduce the idea of self-compassion and explore how we can learn to treat ourselves with greater kindness, understanding and acceptance.

Developing self-compassion is a skill that everyone can learn and practise. Together, we will explore ways to become more compassionate towards ourselves and discover simple approaches that can support our wellbeing in everyday life.

Following this introductory session, you may wish to continue your learning by joining our four-session self-compassion course at a later date.

About CNWL Recovery & Wellbeing College

CNWL Recovery & Wellbeing College is a wellbeing service offering opportunities for people to come together to learn ways to live healthier, happier and more fulfilling lives, as defined by them.

Our sessions combine knowledge from people with lived experience and those with clinical experience, with everyone coming together as equals. We are not a formal college — we do not assess participants or provide qualifications, and we do not provide therapy. Instead, our workshops offer a safe, empowering and non-stigmatising space to explore, share and learn together.

We support people on their journey of self-discovery, helping everyone to recognise and develop their strengths, talents and resources so they can become experts in their own self-care and move towards the things they want to achieve in life.

This free session is open to anyone aged 18+ who would like to better understand loneliness and isolation and discover practical ways to improve their wellbeing and connect with others.
