Appreciating Goodness and Beauty in Our World – Dr Maria Sirois

Join resilience expert Dr Maria Sirois to discover the amazing power of appreciating beauty and goodness, especially in an uncertain world.

How do we live well and stay grounded in an uncertain world?

In these times of rapid change and uncertainty, what can we do to stay calm and grounded but also connected to the world around us?

At this special event, Positive Psychology and resilience expert Dr Maria Sirois will share the amazing power that comes from appreciating the beauty and goodness in our world. She’ll explain how seeing beautiful things helps to calm and heal – also how being more aware of goodness helps us be better human beings.

Dr Sirois will combine stories and science to offer practical guidance on how to navigate periods of pain or darkness – and those times where inspiration just seems hard to find. She will introduce the concept of ‘The Generous Exchange’ which focuses on restoring hope for the good things that will be possible for ourselves, for others and for our world.

By taking part you’ll learn practical and inspiring ways to help you apply these ideas and to integrate this strength of appreciating beauty and goodness in your daily life.

The event will take place on Zoom at 7pm London time .
