Psychology

What’s this weird thing we call intuition? Where does it come from and where does it get its power? Do we have to choose between scientific, rational thought and intuition? We look at intuition, what it means.

Are you constantly worried about what will people think of you? Are you a people pleaser? Do you pretend that everything is alright with you even though it isn’t? Do you try hard to “keep it together” and “fit in”? You are not alone.

In this class we will discover why we do all these things, where the motivation comes from and the destructive consequences of these behaviours.

Many of us struggle to remember a new person’s name 5 minutes after being introduced but have that one friend who never forgets a face! And a few special people have phenomenal memories that seem to know no bounds. For example, memorising 884 randomly shuffled playing cards in just 30 minutes!

We’re going to learn from the great brains and discover how to enhance our memory using simple techniques.

This workshop is about using a creative way to understand your own language of emotions. Do you know what’s your sadness is telling you? And how about anger? Through using a storytelling approach, you will lean in to understand what these emotions could offer you. By the end of the workshop, you will feel empowered and start to embrace the language of emotions as a tool of your deepest awareness and develop capability to self-regulate, work with emotional information and use those as your gifts to transform your world.

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. Relevant for everyone by thinking more broadly we can make sense of burnout in the context of self, society and nature itself.

Happiness. We all want it. But what is happiness? How do we become happy? Should we even be happy? These questions have inspired philosophers for centuries. But they didn’t have this class! We will explore the major philosophical positions and divides that form our ideas of happiness.

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.

This class provides an overview of the history of psychology and spirituality and how both conceptualise life’s meaning and purpose. We will discover our own personal ways of exploring the questions of meaning and purpose through these two perspectives.

Research shows that having a gratitude practice can change your life for the better. In this class we’ll explore expressing and sharing gratitude to change the lives of people around you too. We will work on developing the confidence and creativity to put your thanks out into the world!
