Testimonials

Dear Anja, I really want to thank you personally. The course was enormously important on my journey to myself. The way you imparted the knowledge and responded to us, was probably even more significant than the course content itself. However, I do not want to diminish their importance. 
Self-compassion has become an inner attitude for me, which I actually live. I am surprised at myself every day when I suddenly react or think differently than I was used to for decades. 
Thank you, thank you, thank you <3

I have never actually attended courses like this neither in person, nor online, but I was surprised how connected I felt to the instructors as well as the other participants. I don’t think attending this class in person would have made a big difference in terms of feeling connected. Applying exercises such as the soften, soothe, allow as well as labeling emotions really helped me to feel more centered and less involved in mind activity. Self compassion is a lifelong journey. I now have some tools under my belt that I can apply and practice every day. Thank you so much again!

What are you taking away from this program? “A lot. And not just the exercises for coping with everyday situations, but also the continuous exercise of getting closer to the parts of myself that I tend to avoid. Thank you. I feel energized, I feel ready to embrace my emotions and I am very grateful to you for helping me get to this stage. I was definitely surprised at how close I felt to the group, i.e. a group of complete strangers, even though the whole course was online. Although I would have preferred to take the course in person, I will certainly consider online courses in the future after this course.”

“I highly reccomend the workshop of Mindful-self Compassion for those who want to refresh their experience of a former class or discover the practice of self compassion. You will be lead to deep meditaitons of warm hearted trainers and have the possibility to chat with a conscious people.”

„Despite the brevity of time this 6 week course was such a profound and helpful support. I am really positively surprised. It was possible to consolidate in this online program some short, benevolent and at the same time strengthening interventions that help me to navigate through difficult situations/emotions. Thank you so much Anja and Wiebke!“

“I liked the fact that we received different tools to use in everyday life, and that we could learn different kinds of  meditations so that at the end we had the possibility to choose what we like the most and what works best for us. I also liked the breaks in small groups because they gave us the possibility to get to know the other participants a bit better.”

“I had few expectations upon starting the MSC course, apart from hoping to learn about self-compassion, as I needed some. I’m so glad I followed my instincts: after just eight weeks I feel more positive, lighter and am kinder to myself and others. The course gave me tools to develop and maintain an appreciation of daily life, with all its ups and downs, and Anja and Wiebke created a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere in which I felt comfortable sharing my experiences with the group. I can heartily recommend doing this course with them!”

“It has been a great course and a wonderful experience! Anja and Wiebke created a warm atmosphere and managed in a very respectful way to stick consequently to the MSC program and never getting lost in ‘therapy sessions’. I learned a method and a way of being that will accompany me from now on. THANKS!”

“Anja and Wiebke took us on an inspiring 8-week journey to become more patient, caring and less critical with ourselves. I am happy that I have  joined this program and still benefit from it every single day.”

“At the MSC group I found support, Community, and practical tools to use on a daily basis. The tools, or Core Meditations have helped me to be in touch with my emotions, to give myself care and support, to be compassionate to myself in moments of difficulty, to soothe my heart and nervous system. I have a better relationship with my self, more patience for others, less stress, less negative internal monologue, and when it occurs I can meet it with kindness. I had been practicing various forms of mindfulness meditation but hadn’t learned to give my self much care. With Loving kindness practice I have begun to to speak to myself internally in a new way, and really see myself and my mind change, I have hope after years of uncertainty about whether it was possible to find more peace and joy in my life. It is a true gift that I can effect this change myself. Anja and Wiebke are very experienced practitioners of meditation, and also therapists – they are warm and kind. I felt safe to be vulnerable and and to explore difficult emotions and venture to try new practices. Practicing in a group is extremely rewarding. We have the opportunity to share our experiences of the practice and we are mirrors to each other. Reflecting our common fears, hopes, struggles and beautiful lessons. We learn that we are not alone in our experiences. The practice space itself is beautiful, cozy and well maintained, a perfect sanctuary from the busy day and mind. I highly recommend taking the time for yourself, join the next group! I found the experience so moving that I repeated the course, to solidify my practice.”
