What is the purpose of this retreat?
Self-Compassion is mentally treating yourself the way you want to be treated. However, most never learned this; the consequences are the negative feelings we experience, which is suffering. You will learn to recognize suffering, why it happens, and how to minimize it by being self-compassionate.
