This is your chance to learn the science of positive emotions from one of the world’s leading experts. By increasing your daily diet of positivity - especially with those moments in which positivity resonates between you and others - you’ll come to see new possibilities to connect with others and to build flourishing communities.

In this workshop explore how you can propel learning through the brain’s emotional filters to reach the reflective (conscious, cognitive) prefrontal cortex where learning becomes memory.

In this workshop we explore how we can teach young people to discover wisdom, love and serenity within themselves. Integrating non-judgmental moment-to-moment awareness - mindfulness - and the practices of “Presencing” can help us slow down and feel calmer, clear and centred, enriching our lives as parents, guardians, teachers, mentors, coaches, counsellors, and role models.

The Values Exchange is a unique web-based debating system. The system allows students to explore any social issue using 'Facebook-style' technology and powerful social concepts (my feelings, hopes, ideals, equality, law).

This workshop combines conceptual discussion of the grand problem with free will with laboratory studies, including our work on self-control, decision making, and the new work on glucose, as well as studies on manipulated disbelief in free will.

Will provide a framework to help business managers, educators, and parents understand each other and help facilitate excellent communication and work performance in this younger, more cyber-savvy generation.

A hands/hearts/minds-on opportunity for you to learn simple, practical ways to engage children in a variety of fun, simple and creative mindful skills.  These skills have been trialled with thousands of students and teachers.  They can easily be integrated into the classroom and life: with techniques ranging from 60 seconds to five to ten minute practices.
