Healthcare professionals are often taught how to care for others.
Rarely are they taught how to care for themselves.

Compassion fatigue, emotional exhaustion, burnout, and chronic stress are not signs that you’re failing. They’re often signs that you’ve been carrying too much for too long.

Mindful Self-Compassion offers practical, evidence-based skills for working with the inner critic, regulating stress, recovering from difficult encounters, and building emotional resilience without sacrificing your humanity.

This 5-day intensive is designed specifically for healthcare professionals, including physicians, nurses, psychologists, therapists, social workers, chaplains, and other healthcare providers. Together, we’ll explore how to care for ourselves while continuing to care deeply for others.

Over five days, you’ll learn:
✨ How self-compassion supports wellbeing and reduces burnout
✨ Practical tools for managing stress and difficult emotions
✨ How to work with self-criticism and perfectionism
✨ Strategies for compassion fatigue and sustainable caregiving
✨ A personal self-care plan grounded in your values and professional purpose

You’ll join an international group of healthcare professionals who understand the realities of healthcare work and share a common commitment to compassionate care.

How do you stay compassionate toward yourself when life feels overwhelming?

Many of us know how to care for others. We support our families, colleagues, clients, patients, and friends.

But when we are struggling ourselves, self-criticism often takes over.

Mindful Self-Compassion is a practical, evidence-based approach that helps you respond to stress, difficult emotions, burnout, and self-doubt with greater kindness and resilience.

This October, join Christopher Germer, co-founder of the Mindful Self-Compassion program, and Mila de Koning for a 5-Day Mindful Self-Compassion Intensive in the Netherlands.

Over five immersive days, you will learn how to:

• Work with difficult emotions without becoming overwhelmed
• Reduce self-criticism and strengthen self-kindness
• Build emotional resilience in daily life
• Support yourself during stress, failure, and uncertainty
• Deepen your mindfulness and self-compassion practice

Set in the peaceful nature of the Dutch Veluwe, this intensive offers space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with yourself.

📍 Elspeet, The Netherlands
📅 13–18 October 2026

Sometimes the hardest expectations to let go of are not our own.

They’re the ones we inherited.

The version of us that others hoped for.
The path they thought we should take.
The person they wanted us to become.

But your worth was never meant to depend on meeting someone else’s expectations.

You can disappoint people and still be worthy.

You can choose a different path and still be worthy.

You can be fully yourself and still be worthy.

💛 Save this for the days you need the reminder.

Have you ever called something “discipline” when it was actually self-neglect?

Working through lunch.
Ignoring exhaustion.
Never asking for help.
Feeling guilty for resting.

Many of us were taught to admire pushing through at all costs.

But eventually, the cost catches up with us.

Self-compassion is not about doing less.
It’s about learning to care for yourself while doing what matters.

Because sustainable wellbeing doesn’t come from constantly pushing harder.
It comes from knowing when to pause, rest, and support yourself.

Which slide did you relate to most?

“After caring for everyone else… who takes care of you?”

Many healthcare professionals are trained to keep going no matter how exhausted they feel.

To stay strong.
To push through.
To care for others while quietly ignoring themselves.

But sustainable care also requires self-compassion.

This October, join healthcare professionals from around the world for a 5-day immersive Mindful Self-Compassion Intensive in Costa Rica.

Learn practical, evidence-based tools to work with stress, emotional fatigue, and self-criticism while reconnecting with yourself in a supportive environment.
