Has life just felt hard lately and finding joy seems nearly impossible? Maybe you are feeling stuck, in a rut, wishing for more of that elusive happiness. If this speaks to you, join us for The Art & Science of Getting Happier: Build the Life You Want on Wednesdays, September 2, 9, 16, & 23 from 6-7:30 p.m. in The Studio.  

Instructor Lori Lilly will lead this course, designed to provide direction on the journey toward living with a greater sense of happiness and a deeper sense of wisdom. Understand your own unique happiness profile. Learn about emotions so you can develop the tools of self-management and emotional regulation while building resilience and a positive state of mind. Lori will share practical, research-based practices that meet you where you are as you build a daily practice of happiness.
