July 2019: Identifying and Embracing our Strengths: A simple tool for improving our well-being: Identifying our character strengths and exploring ways of integrating them into the challenging, boring, and enjoyable aspects of our day can be a wonderful way of enhancing our well-being. We'll start our time in this workshop taking the VIA Strengths Survey and discuss the usefulness of this tool.

Sept 2019: Mindfulness: An introduction to the practices and benefits of being in the here and now: This workshop offers an overview of the popular practice of mindfulness by considering its importance, benefits, and forms. We'll explore several mindfulness activities and assist participants in identifying a daily practice to try out.

Nov 2019: Practicing gratitude: The why and how of giving thanks, and what to do when we're just not feeling it. The act of "giving thanks" can sometimes seem over-rated and annoyingly forced upon us, however, research has consistently demonstrated the benefit of authentic gratitude practices and perspectives in fostering emotional well-being. In this workshop, we'll explore several daily practices and address how to relate to the inevitable times in life when gratitude isn't possible.
