Psychology

Feel like you’re not getting what you want? Have you ever thought how your voice and body confidence affects how people perceive you in life and therefore how you obtain your goals? Our voice is a very powerful tool and how you project it and work with it affects your entire life. However we are rarely taught how to use it to our advantage. This class is all about how to use your voice and body with confidence to get what you want.

Where do symptoms of burn out really belong? Is it inside the individual or elsewhere? In this class we are going to get some perspective on burnout! A lot or self care talks stay focussed on what you need to change in yourself and your habits, which can reinforce burnout as a personal failure.

Do you ever wonder about life meaning, purpose, human experience? Psychology and spirituality both provide frames of reference for understanding and exploring these issues. Historically, psychology and spirituality have had a complicated relationship however, these two can be seen as complementary systems of understanding.

In the 17th Century Rene Descartes wrote “I think, therefore I am”. This simple statement lead to a privileging of the mind over the body and essentially split them apart.

Rethinking it, this session is about being proactive in your thoughts; actively thinking about what you are saying, how you talk to yourself and others about yourself. How you talk and think influences your perspective and the choices you make. Instead of reinforcing negative thoughts and words we are going to use this theme of being proactive with your thinking to flip the negative enforcement. In this session we use interactive, interesting experiential exercises to gain insight and focus.
