Finding Happiness and Meaning in the Age of Anxiety
With Max Strom
Technology has expanded at such a rate that nearly every aspect of our world has been affected — yet there has been no corresponding expansion of personal happiness. At the deepest levels of human fulfillment, it seems that we grossly overestimate what technology can do for us and built a world that we cannot live in. In response, this special workshop reveals an internal, human technology capable of empowering the most meaningful areas of our lives and leading us to deeper levels of happiness.
The first half will consist of a lecture followed by a full practice of Inner Axis, breath initiated movement and yoga postures.
There will a break in the middle.
The afternoon will go more deeply into the essential elements, such as:
Transformational Breathing
Inner Axis yoga
The Beginning of Emotional Healing
Dynamic Meditation
Reversing isolation and loneliness
Organizing our emotions
Optimizing digital technology
Wisdom Beyond the Mat
Lifespan tools
Writing and discussion
