What

In a small group setting, we will develop actions that respond to the question of our moment: how can I experience joy, even as so much around us is painful and bleak? Through structured, collective practice, we'll use research on joy to guide your experimentation as you build new habits and pathways to joy. We will explore these foundational practices of joy: Notice, Connect, Pause, View, and Practice. Bring your favorite pen and some paper, and wear comfortable clothing to move around in.

Folks who may find this community of practice most compelling are:

• Hoping to find motivation and agency in your experience of the world
• Willing to share and listen to interpretations, intuitions, and experiences
• Game to experiment, reflect, and refine new and existing actions
