High Octave Living
winter 2022
This eight week course offers an introduction to the practice of mindfulness, along with exploring 24 universal human character strengths. The unique symbiosis of these two elements provides rich opportunities for bettering one's life.
MINDFULNESS
Although instruction here is for beginners, practitioners of mindfulness know that it's cumulative and that meditating with others is often beneficial. With the diverse types of meditation sampled, an experienced instructor, and some live music, the course should be helpful and enjoyable for most levels of experience.
CHARACTER STRENGTHS
The character work is based on the groundbreaking research available through the VIA Institute on Character. Each participant will start with the VIA survey to determine their personal "signature strengths". From here, we work with how these core elements can be used to increase one's self-understanding, daily effectiveness and happiness/fulfillment. There has been much recent research done on each strength and how it can improve one's life.

Each participant is asked to attend all eight Zoom sessions since both the course flow and the group connection have a cumulative nature. Each session will be recorded for an emergency absence.
