WORKBOOK INCLUDED: This workshop focuses on joy as a state of being, rather than a transient feeling. Whereas happiness largely depends on external circumstances, joy is cultivated in our mind and heart and can flourish even when times are hard. It is more encompassing than happiness—it can animate our lives and deepen the satisfaction and meaning that we look for in life. Each of us has the capacity to create joy in our lives by recognizing its potential and overcoming the barriers we put in our own way.
This workshop consists of talks, video extracts, exercises, sharing and discussion. Participants will receive a PDF workbook with all the main quotes, charts and exercises.
