COMMUNICATION FROM<br />
THE HEART: AN APPROACH<br />
TO MANAGING STRESS<br />
Elizabeth Spark, MD, Instructor<br />
In this two-session course, we will discover the impact<br />
that language has on our peace of mind, when we<br />
fail to recognize the many subtle ways in which we<br />
coerce and judge ourselves. We will also focus on<br />
the principles of Nonviolent Communication and<br />
learn how to use this inspiring model to support a<br />
way of speaking and listening that results in heartfelt<br />
connection, even in the most challenging situations.<br />
These insights and skills can readily enhance our<br />
well-being as well as our relationships. For more<br />
information on Nonviolent Communication, go to www.<br />

LIVING THE GOOD LIFE:<br />
THE NEW SCIENCE OF HAPPINESS<br />
Lisa Borchetta and Carol Gray, Instructors<br />
The new scientific study of well-being shows us that<br />
we can all be happier. Learn what the latest research<br />
has to say about happiness. We will experiment with<br />
proven happiness-boosting practices and explore<br />
different aspects of well-being, such as gratitude,<br />
meaning, working with character strengths, improving<br />
relationships, and adopting healthy habits. You will learn<br />
about the unexpected benefits of happiness and the<br />
reasons why it’s often easier to see what’s going wrong<br />
in your life than it is to notice what’s going right. Several<br />
diagnostic tools will help you determine your current<br />
level of happiness, pinpoint the specific happinessenhancing<br />
activities that best suit you, and discover your<br />
unique character strengths. Limited to 16.<br />
