Center for Mindful Self-Compassion
Courses and teacher training for research-based self-compassion practice.
The Center for Mindful Self-Compassion is a nonprofit hub for learning and teaching the Mindful Self-Compassion approach. It lists live online courses, in-person intensives, retreats, graduate offerings, healthcare-focused programs, teacher training pathways, free practices, and research resources.
Why it stands out
- Combines learner courses and professional teacher-training pathways under the same MSC-focused organization.
- Includes specialized tracks for healthcare communities, shame work, and graduates rather than only general mindfulness classes.
- Offers both live online options and in-person intensives/retreats, making the curriculum accessible across different schedules and locations.
- Publishes supporting research and free practices alongside paid programs, so visitors can evaluate the approach before enrolling.
- Maintains international reach through partner references, regional currency selection, and a teacher directory.
Good to know
- Many offerings are scheduled live events, so availability depends on dates, time zones, and instructor capacity.
- Core courses and trainings can be paid; example listings show multi-hundred-dollar course fees, although free practices are available.
- Professional pathways are specific to MSC/SCHC training and certification, not a general mental-health or counseling credential.
Under the radar: If the main upcoming-course dates do not fit your schedule, check the Teacher Directory as well; individual MSC teachers may offer programs outside the featured CMSC listings.
