Welcome to the Bootcamp!
A short on-line course. Give a couple of hours of your time for a skill that lasts a lifetime.
Life’s hard enough without a hard-wired stress reaction running the show … which it does.
It's a bit like the annoying seatbelt beeper in the car.
Not something we chose. Or enjoy.
Fortunately, there’s ways to disable the beeper … and ways to disable stress reactions too.
One of these is self-kindness.
Join the Self-kindness Bootcamp to put yourself behind the wheel.
Test-drive self-kindness!

FAQ
-
HOW LONG DOES THE COURSE TAKE?
You'll need a few hours to do it justice. It's optional to cover the bonus material, further learning and activities. You might like to go at a leisurely pace ... watch a session, then take some time to think about it, before coming back again for the next dish.
-
HOW IS IT ORGANISED?
Check out 'What's in the Box' above, which lays out the structure of the modules.

WHAT FORMAT IS IT IN?
Select from video, audio or transcript … or all three. Plus you can enable video captions.

SORRY FOR ASKING BUT … WON’T SELF-KINDNESS MAKE ME A LOSER?
Q- Will it make me soft? Weak?? Isn’t it self-indulgent and self-absorbed? Will I lose my drive and competitive edge? A- No, the opposite. Self-kindness builds strength and resilience. It leads to more caring relationships and less self-absorption.
-
WHO IS THE COURSE FOR?
• Busy time-poor people (because the course is essentialised- it’s all there, without the fluff). • Great if you tend to judge and criticize yourself for your inadequacies or shortcomings (and want to understand and change that). • You find yourself snapping at others out of frustration: here’s first base for restoring nice you. • You get stuck in the blame-game (blaming self or others) when upset. • Looping, anxious thoughts drive you crazy.

ERR …DO ‘SELF-KINDNESS’ AND ‘BOOTCAMP’ ACTUALLY FIT TOGETHER?
Isn’t “self-kindness” a bit gooey to be boot-camped? No way, self-kindness done properly is strong stuff! This short intensive gives a kick up the backside to ingrained habits (like self-criticism and negative rumination).
Instructor
Hi, I'm Shakti. I could list my qualifications here ... tho I think it would be more valuable to say I'm no stranger to anxiety, confusion, depression, rumination and the difficult headspace.
Particularly in my younger days, before I discovered the life-buoys that mindfulness skills bring.
Which keep me afloat, more often than not. #thank.effing.goddess.
Over the decades, I've had the opportunity to dive deep into the nittty-gritty warty experience of being human. And I've brought back gems from the murky depths to share with you.
