Modestly Mindful LLC to present Healthy Boiler workshop focused on self-compassion

An upcoming Healthy Boiler workshop titled “Self-Compassion: The Science, the Utility, and How To Cultivate It” will be presented by Jonathan Walker, retired physician and owner of Modestly Mindful LLC, from noon to 1 p.m. ET on Oct. 12. The workshop supports the behavioral health pillar of the Healthy Boiler Program.

Research shows that cultivating self-compassion can help with stress and burnout and enhance well-being. Walker found these practices extremely helpful and now devotes himself to offering trainings on the subject. During the workshop, attendees will explore what self-compassion is and why it is so hard to be kind to ourselves and learn some foundational practices designed to cultivate self-compassion even in the midst of difficulties. 

Those interested in attending should register by Oct. 11 via the Healthy Boiler Portal. The registration link can be found under the Healthy Boiler Workshops section on the portal’s homepage. Hover over the workshop’s square and click “Submit” to register.

Questions can be directed to the Center for Healthy Living at 765-494-0111.
