Happiness Workshop (How to Be Happy:)

Sunday, 12 Sept

10am - 5pm

Could you be Happier? Most people are waiting to be happy. We think we will be happy when we have a lot of money, when we are in a relationship, when we have a fancy car, when we reach certain goals. When we get what we want the feeling of happiness either doesn't come or doesn't last long. Why are some people happier than others? How can we be happy now without having to wait? Now is all there is.

Happiness is harmony between mind, body, spirit and emotions. It is rare for this harmony to happen by chance but can be easily practised if it is your conscious intention. Happiness is inside us all the time. The process of becoming happy is not to look for happiness outside us but to look inside ourselves for what is preventing us from feeling it. These "How to BE Happy" workshops are an inner exploration to remember who you really are and will allow you to feel higher levels of happiness. We use tools and exercises that can be integrated into your life now to be the happy person you are.

How would your life be if you were extremely happy? How would it affect the people around you? Imagine if everyone you met was at peace with themselves and greeted you with a smile. You can make your world like this if you start with yourself. Choose to BE Happy and evolve in joy.

10 am - 5pm ( Investment €70 - consessions available )
