Recent research in psychology has focussed on flourishing and what makes life worth living. The ‘psychology of flourishing’ proposes that we need to live well along five dimensions: positive emotions; positive relationships; engagement; meaning; and accomplishment. All of this is underpinned by character.
During this weekend, Father Roger Dawson SJ will introduce and explain this approach to flourishing as life before death with examples and practical exercises, and he will make the link with our faith and Ignatian spirituality. He shall also look at applying this as a psychology for dealing with tough times. There will also be opportunities for silence, prayer and reflection.
