Finding Your Happy: 16 Guidelines for Life
~ a full day interactive retreat
How would it feel to wake up every day with an inner knowing that whatever the day threw your way, your happiness was unshakeable?
Finding Your Happy: 16 Guidelines for Life are workshops and tools based on a set of values that aim to encourage positive qualities in your life. They help you to change how you think, how you act, how you relate to others and how you find meaning. By noticing our patterns of thinking, speaking and acting, and understanding how our minds work through mindfulness and self-enquiry, we can find lasting fulfillment. 16 Guidelines can give you transferrable skills to create a cascade of impact, beyond just self-improvement. Equipped with better knowledge of ourselves we can break through our limiting beliefs, transform our relationships, make better decisions, and find peace of mind even on the most difficult of days. We can find our happy!

It is particularly ideal for:
- Teachers and careers or those in support roles

What you will do
