Half Day Course: Silencing the Inner Critic – with Adrienne Weiss
Saturday 7 November | 10:00 – 13:00 (in-person or online)
Half-Day Course,Silencing the Inner Critic – Becoming Your Own Best Friend
Most of us have an inner voice that is far more critical than kind—pointing out our mistakes, replaying regrets, and telling us we’re not good enough. In this half-day course, you’ll learn how to recognise and gently reduce this inner self-criticism, and begin cultivating a more supportive, compassionate relationship with yourself.
We will also explore how self-critical thoughts arise and how we can stop giving them so much power. Through practical insights and simple but profound meditation techniques, you’ll learn to develop a kinder, more encouraging inner voice—one that actually supports your wellbeing and confidence in daily life.
Come join us to discover how life changes for the better when you learn to become your own best friend. Everybody welcome. Suitable for all levels of experience.
