Self-Compassion Workshop with Julius Torelli, M.D.
There is an increasing amount of research demonstrating the effectiveness of self-compassion to increase happiness, resilience and optimism and decrease anxiety and depression.

The workshop will be a series of between 4 to 6 webinars depending on participation, done on a weekly basis beginning February 18. To sign-up for the webinar go to
