Happy Mondays Evening Classes by the Happy City Initiative - 8 week course in St Pauls, City of Bristol

This autumn the Happy City Initiative is running an 8-week evening class in the Happiness Habits, a scientifically-grounded programme of simple actions which grow well-being and build resilience to stress & depression. Each session involves a mix of activities, conversations, creativity and reflection on themes such as positive emotions, optimism, meaning & purpose and strengths. There’s also a habit to practise between sessions so that by the end of the 8-week programme you will have mastered the tools that raise and recover well-being and experienced a positive change. The course trainer is one of the UK 's first positive psychologists Miriam Akhtar - the co-presenter of the Happiness Training Plan, author of Positive Psychology for Overcoming Depression and a contributor to the World Book of Happiness. Miriam is also a Bristol Happiness Champion. Happy Mondays will be held every Monday at the Unitarian Chapel, Brunswick Square , Bristol from September 30 from 7pm-8.30pm to November 18th. The course costs £200 (concessions £160) or be quick and grab an early bird rate of £160 until September 16. Concessions are available to those on low income on request. 'The benefit that we’ve been deriving from our Monday sessions has been priceless! Thank you so much for all the effort you go to. I would be happy to come the next time you run this. Compared to one on one therapy which costs a fortune this is far more engaging and useful in my opinion as you feel an equal participant rather than a client /victim. Keep up the fantastic work.'
