Participants will have the opportunity to experience firsthand the beauty, vibrant culture and pristine natural environment of Bhutan and learn about the experiment of Gross National Happiness at a personal, organizational, and national level. How can the vision and values of GNH translate into individual and collective action that promotes the wellbeing of all life? And how can we cultivate the inner qualities or “happiness skills” that ancient wisdom traditions (and now scientific research) indicate can be enhanced through regular practice?

We will visit inspiring people, projects, and sacred places, and together we will explore the relationship between our own personal journey of inner transformation, and the wider social change that we would like to bring into the world.
