Sanctuary Lesson Plan
A comprehensive facilitator's guide for the Self-Compassion Sanctuary workshop, including learning objectives, a detailed 90-minute pacing guide, a guided meditation script, and discussion prompts.
Sanctuary Slides
A visually calming and professional slide deck for a self-compassion workshop. It covers the 'why' of self-compassion, the three pillars of Dr. Kristin Neff's model, the role of the 'Inner Critic', and practical strategies for graduate students to pivot toward kindness.
Inner Voice Journal
A 5-day reflective journal designed for graduate students to practice self-compassion. Each day includes a specific prompt focused on mindfulness, common humanity, or self-kindness, helping students integrate these practices into their daily academic lives.
Critic Dialogue Activity
A structured worksheet for students to map out the 'dialogue' between their inner critic and their compassionate ally. It helps students identify recurring self-critical thoughts and practice re-framing them with kindness.
Sanctuary Discussion Cards
A set of six scenario-based discussion cards that present common graduate school stressors (rejection, writer's block, imposter syndrome). These cards facilitate small group practice in applying self-compassion pillars to real-world academic challenges.
