Cultivating Happiness: A Weekend Workshop September 18, 2009

Thousands of people have discovered that the new science of happiness provides a clear set of activities, tools, mindset changes, and interventions that are dramatically transforming people’s lives. We now know that happiness can be taught just like math, only happiness is easier and more fun than math for most people!

No one can make their best contribution to their families or society when they are depressed, unhappy, in fear, or stuck. Happy people make more money, live longer, have better relationships, are healthier, have more friends, cope better, and are more successful. Yet, you can’t simply “think your way” to happiness, and the common belief that “happiness is an inside job” falsely seduces people into thinking that’s all they need to know to be happy.

This workshop is your launching pad to discover the science of happiness and to create an intention for your life to become the happiest ever. No one is going to hand happiness to you on a silver platter; you have to take the initiative to make it a priority in your life.

Three happiness experts with a combined 40 years of happiness experience are your instructors and facilitators, blending actionable research from the science of happiness into a deliciously fun program. The weekend is especially designed to help you experience more happiness on a consistent, ongoing basis long after the workshop is over and to skyrocket your life in a positive, purposeful direction. The instructors are especially skilled at making the class a safe and comfortable place for you to learn and grow.

- Optimally connect and align with your highest purpose.
