Live practice sessions to help you keep training
This live session was recorded at World Happiness Week 2021 and features core practices from your course. This is a great way to refresh your practice and remind yourself of key learnings.
This was a live practice offered to all course participants. Orlaith guides us through four practices from 'Holding Space for Anxiety' to help us to strengthen our practice.
You will receive an invitation for our next practice session, to connect with Orlaith, ask questions and enjoy core practices. You can participate free of charge and afterwards you can access the replay on your course page.
making happiness a habit
The lessons are all bite-sized, so you can train for 15-20 minutes at a time. Each section has practices for you to explore at your own pace. Some students do one chapter and then practice for a week or two before returning. Other students create a morning or afternoon retreat and go through the whole course, then choose an area of focus to practice with.
Yes you can! Think of your worry as a really strong habit - with this course we're going to train ourselves to take care of this habit so that it doesn't control us and we can be more free and happy.
This is for everyone - no experience required! Orlaith guides us through all the mindfulness practices and shares meditation tips along the way.
