We tend to push away unpleasant emotions, but the more we do, the more they persist and eventually boil to the surface and become uncontrollable. In this session we will learn about our habitual patterns of reactivity that can keep us feeling stuck, and how to make space for a wiser, more conscious response. We will learn to recognise, name and process emotions skilfully, as well as intentionally activate positive emotions.

How we relate to ourselves, others and to a meaningful purpose is another key building block of resilience. After all, we are the one person that we spend most time with, and deeply connecting with our fellow beings in a complex, interconnected world is essential for our wellbeing. Too often, we complain about others, but we end up being the ones who suffer the most. In this session, we will learn how to strengthen the attitude of compassion and kindness towards ourselves and others, which can help us shift out of anxious and reactive states.

While we are mostly aware of how nutrition affects our physical heath, it also has an influence on how we feel, our mood and our mental fitness. However, building and maintaining healthy eating habits is a challenge. In this session, we will explore why that is; how selecting the right type of food can help you shift into a more optimal body/mind state; and how you can create a light and easy relationship with food and your body’s needs.
