Can you train your mind to be happier? 
We explore the science behind wellbeing:
- Do we have a set level of happiness at birth?
- What does evolution, adaptation and neuroscience tell us about the barriers to happiness?
- Is the study of happiness a blessing or a curse? What is the Eastern perspective?

Emotional Intelligence 
Here we introduce the Mayers Salovey emotional intelligence model and explore the concept of emotions as information which can be used to problem solve.  We also look at the cross over of Buddhist psychology and Emotional Intelligence drawing on the work of Paul Ekman

Playing to your strengths
At work and school we often receive feedback which  focuses on deficits rather than successes.  This workshop gives practical tools to help you identify your core strengths and how to make the most of them .  We introduce you to techniques to interpret the VIA strengths tool and techniques for listening for strengths from CAPP

The paradox of time 
Find out whether you have a propensity to spend your mental energy thinking about the past or future rather than living life in the present.  Learn about the Zimbardo Time Pespective index - an amazing free online tool which helps raise your awareness about how your thoughts flow between the past, present and future

The power of human touch
Learn how human touch changes our brain chemistry affecting the way we learn, age and form relationships.  Learn about the amazing effect of oxytocin on trust and wellbeing
