We'll also explore the concept of active constructive responding, where both the person delivering and receiving feedback leave the conversation feeling positive and empowered. You’ll learn how to cultivate this skill through active listening, ensuring your communication fosters connection and growth.As we touch on seasonal depression and lifestyle factors that affect workplace happiness, we’ll identify how to shift negative energy and increase positivity in the workspace. Finally, you’ll uncover your inner values and desires and create small, actionable goals to guide your path toward greater happiness and success. By the end of this talk, you’ll have the tools to recognize your own biases, apply your strengths in a more intentional way, and cultivate a positive, thriving environment for yourself and others. You’ll leave empowered with the insights and strategies to increase happiness and create meaningful change in both your personal and professional life.

Buti Yoga - Be Wild and Free

Sunday June 15, 2025 2:00pm - 3:00pm EDT

Next to Lodge

My workshop is in the style of Buti Yoga and it is called Be Wild and Free. I will teach my students how to connect to their inner child and let go of all their worries and responsibilities and just have fun. It is important because as an adult we don't get a lot of time to let loose like we did before we had kids, homes and jobs. I want to get the students out of their heads and into their bodies and let loose. The key takeaways will be to not let go of your childish enthusiasm, not give a Fuck what someone else thinks of you and have fun regardless of what is going on in your life at the moment.
