Self-Empathy: Your Non-Negotiable is an in-person workshop at the 92nd Street Y that invites you into a transformative conversation with Dr. Kristin Neff, one of the world’s leading researchers on self-compassion. In this experience, you will explore what self-empathy truly means, why it matters for resilience and well-being, and how our inner voice shapes the way we respond to difficulty, failure, and growth. Through guided practice, real-world examples, and reflective dialogue, you’ll leave with practical tools to bring more kindness and steadiness to your inner world.
why rooh recommends attending
We are drawn to experiences that help us show up more fully in our own lives, and Dr. Kristin Neff’s work on self-compassion has that quiet power to change how you think about the way you treat yourself and others. Too often, we wait for empathy to come from outside, but self-empathy is the foundation that shapes every other relationship and choice we make. This workshop blends thoughtful research with lived practice in a way that feels grounded and human, and it’s the kind of conversation that stays with you long after the room empties.
