The PERMA Workshop: From Functioning to Flourishing

The PERMA Workshop: From Functioning to Flourishing.

 - A 2-hour deep dive into the science of what makes life worth living.-

As humans, we are wired for "automatic mode." We focus on solving problems and often overlook the very strengths and habits that got us here. We can change that though, remember; What we focus on grows.

The purpose of this workshop is to introduce you to one of those models, the PERMA model.

PERMA is the acronym for the five – according to Martin Seligman – important building blocks of well-being, happiness and being able to flourish:

P – Positive Emotion: Feeling good, hope, and gratitude.
E – Engagement: Finding "flow" in activities.
R – Relationships: Authentic connection with others.
M – Meaning: Belonging to and serving something bigger than oneself.
A – Accomplishment: A sense of mastery and goal realisation.

It is mainly used as a coaching tool to take a more positive look at life and how we are affected by our outlook on life. Martin Seligman says If we take a more positive outlook on life, things look better and hope flourishes.

You will leave this workshop with a better understanding of:

• What positive emotions mean or look like
• What engagement means or looks like
• How you see ‘balanced relationships’
• When you know you have ‘meaning’ in your life?
• What makes you feel ‘accomplished’?

What to expect:

The Theory: A brief, accessible breakdown of the 5 elements of flourishing.
The Practice: Hands-on pair work and group coaching.
The Takeaway: You’ll leave with a personalised toolkit of questions and a concrete plan of action.

Whether you're a coach looking for new tools for your clients, or simply someone ready to step out of autopilot, come join us for a few hours of connection and self-discovery.
