Dear members,
we are vey glad to invite you to a Virtual Lecture with Helene Saleniece. We organise this event jointly with Children Palliative Care Society, who generously donate their resources and invite to this inspiring lecture. The event is part of this year’s IWCR individual fundraising cultural events. All its earnings proceed to the IWCR charity fund.
We tend to confuse joy with happiness, and although they are closely related and often occur simultaneously, these feel-good emotions aren’t synonymous. Happiness is an emotion that brings bursts of intense pleasure, excitement, and satisfaction, while joyfulness is a stronger, longer-term state that results in feelings of inner peace and contentment.
Join us for this virtual lecture to find out where happiness can be easily manufactured, and how we can set up the right conditions to achieve joy in life.
Topics of the lecture
- What is the difference between joy and luck?
- What are our joy killers?
- Is it possible to keep the joy every day?
- How to find the joy when we have to face grief, trouble?
- How we can cultivate joy in our every day life?
- What is the ultimate source for joy?
Lecture
- When: Tuesday, December 15th, 10.30am – 11.30am,
- Where: Zoom platform,
- Participation fee: EUR 15, and the earnings of the event will go into the charity funds for 2021. Of course more is welcome as all goes to the IWCR charities.
