What you'll learn:
- The science behind kindness leading to happiness
- Art Therapy exercises to share and work with as a family
- How to be kind to yourself - and others
- How kindness reduces YOUR stress
- Ways of being kind
Remember: This course includes a manual - work through it at your own pace.
This course is exactly as it says in the title:
1. Be kind (how? when? to whom?)
2. Be happy (why? how does kindness do this?)
3. Reduce stress (through being kind?)
Each lecture follows the same format:
a. Discussion about the title eg H.E.L.P.S.O. or S.H.E.B.A.D
b. A focus on what to do as an example of being kind
c. A focused 2-3 minute meditation
Remember throughout that this is a course to be used, with exercises to do and to share, to reflect, to analyse and discuss. In a world at war where loneliness and depression are commonplace, the course, the Q/A offers a place where emotions can be shared and - as per a 'global classroom' - self-exploration and understanding are developed. Throughout the approach is one of gentle encouragement - participate and share as much as you wish.
A fourth section has been added:
Using Art Therapy to explore and share kind actions. remember: being kind to others is also being kind to yourself.
This is very much a 'doing' course - with a high level of Instructor involvement
Straightforward. Practical.
