Cultivating Joy & Happiness


In person in Bow

3-hour workshop


Why are some people happy? And others not? Is it really just an arbitrary toss of the dice or DNA? It turns out that happiness is a skill that can be developed like other skills, such as playing a musical instrument or basketball.

We’ll debunk some of the myths about what makes us happy and uncover the truth about how to create ongoing fulfillment through everyday practices of mindfulness and self-awareness.

Boost your well-being at work and home by tapping into and fortifying your innate capacity to enjoy life.

You’ll learn:

  • What is happiness?
  • The beliefs (both false and true) about what creates happiness
  • How to cultivate happy states of being
  • How mindfulness can help support positive emotions
  • Common blocks for our capacity to be happy
  • Mindfulness practices to call us back to happiness

In this three hour participatory workshop, you’ll learn techniques to help you cultivate happiness with both mindfulness and compassion. Explore a variety of practices, learning simple tools to increase joy, resilience and peace.
