Explore What Matters - the Action for Happiness Course (Glen Iris)

Join us for this unique and inspiring 8-week course to explore what matters for a happy and meaningful life - together with a group of friendly, like-minded people.

The course is based on the latest scientific evidence and is intended for people of all backgrounds, particularly those who would like to see a more positive and caring society.

Each session has a theme, based on a 'big question', such as What really matters in life? What actually makes us happy? and How should we treat others?

The course is run over 8 sessions, which take place weekly and last for 2 hours. Each session follows the same format, which has been designed to be inspiring and interactive, including:

• Tuning in: simple activities that are great for wellbeing (e.g. mindfulness exercise)
• Expert view: an inspiring 15 minute TED-style video/talk from a leading expert (including Richard Layard, Ed Diener, Jon Kabat-Zinn, Karen Armstrong, Brene Brown, Shawn Achor)
• Personal view: a chance for people to reflect on their own experiences
• Did you know?: fascinating and surprising research findings relating to the theme
• Group discussion: sharing ideas in groups and listening to each other's perspectives
• Action ideas: everybody comes away with an action they hope to take as a result

The course content has been developed and tested by Action for Happiness, but the course itself is run by local volunteers who believe in our aims and have some relevant experience.

The course will run on Mondays from 7 pm till 9 pm on the following dates: July 24. July 31, Aug 7, Aug, 14, Aug 21, Aug 28, Sept 4 and Sept 11.

The course is valued at $180 ( $20 per week and $20 for the course book). This money helps us to cover the costs of the course and help raise funds for our mission to create a happier society however we want the course to be accessible to everyone, so you are welcome to pay the value that is right for you.
