Sangha for Self-Compassion: Taming Your Inner Critic
with Suzanne Accardo
Sunday April 26
3:00-4:30pm
Cost: $20
“The Sangha can help us remember to come back to the present moment, to touch our own peace, and to see how to undo the difficulty.” — Thich Nhat Hanh
Many of us are far harder on ourselves than we would ever be toward a friend. The inner critic can appear as judgment, perfectionism, shame, or the feeling of never being “good enough.” In this Sangha gathering, we will explore how to meet that inner voice with mindfulness and compassion rather than criticism. Through guided meditation, reflective exercises, poetry, and shared conversation, we will practice cultivating a kinder relationship with ourselves.
This session is open to everyone, whether you are new to meditation or have an established practice.
What is Sangha?
While traditionally referring to the Buddhist tradition, a “sangha” can be used to describe any supportive group of practitioners focusing on mindfulness, meditation, or collective peaceful living. It is a time to come together with a like-minded community to share joy, peace, and understanding that nourishes the individual, the community and the world.
