How does the in person group work? 

We will meet as a group once a fortnight to explore these timeless qualities of life. Each fortnight, at the support group meeting we will

1. Watch some of the course video content for this fortnight where James explains the theme

2. Have space for Q & A
3. Do some of the course exercises together
4. partner up with a "Joy buddy", another person in the group who we can catch up with on the phone or in person once in that fortnight 
5. Receive encouragement and clarity about the course themes to continually reinforce the great benefit that they bring. 

Other benefits....

1. Our group will have our own video call with James at some point during the course to check in, ask questions and get to know him. This is always a highlight. James is always generous with his time and very skilled with answering questions, offering direction & feedback.

Some final considerations

A course of this type requires ongoing and persistent commitment so please consider this carefully before signing up. With this commitment to yourself there comes reward, benefits and palpable change. This course is not a "Yep, done it" sort of bucket list experience. It's about developing qualities of mind and ways of seeing that make deep change to our overall sense of well-being and freeing ourselves from painful habits. These possibilities are there for you. It's a major commitment on my part to host this for 5 months, so if you feel equally committed to awakening joy in your life I'd love to have you join us.
