This one-day workshop is for everyone seeking positive change—all those who want to live and work into their best self.

It’s a uniquely human capacity to choose the focus of our attention. In directing your attention, you can deliberately shape life toward your ideal self—the aspirational view you hold of who you want to become.

Using tools from positive psychology, behavioral science, and neuroscience, you’ll identify and cultivate this ideal self. Then, using Wholebeing Institute’s SPIRE model for well-being, you’ll develop concrete actions that engage the whole of you. Take home daily routines and conscious choices aligned with a new storyline, so you can better understand your inherent wholeness and realize greater happiness.

During this on-site program, you will

Engage and focus your attention, using it to strengthen relationships and enhance the power of appreciation

Practice the SPIRE approach to expand your capacity for, and perspective of, wholebeing happiness

Experience the power of storytelling and re-storying to understand and live from a strengths-based perspective

Develop and cultivate key aspects of your ideal self, exploring how that vision can enrich your daily actions, simplify choices, and lead to greater levels of flourishing.

This workshop is the companion to Wholebeing Institute’s Introduction to Wholebeing Happiness online course. Taking the online course first is recommended, although not required. Each course is designed with the other in mind, strengthening core concepts and introducing new tools. Both the online and the on-site courses are supported by the workbook The Inspired Life.
