About this Event

What if some of what we’ve been taught about happiness isn’t true?

Unlearning Happiness is a five-week course for people who feel disillusioned with what a “good life” is meant to look like.

The five weekly sessions will include guided reflection, practical exercises, small group conversations and space to think things through properly.
The group size will be small to allow for real conversation and connection.

How do I know this is for me?

People often leave these kinds of conversations with new perspectives, unexpected insights and practical shifts in how they relate to themselves and others.

This course is for those who:

  • Want to rethink old assumptions about work, identity or success
  • Are looking for more purpose, depth or connection
  • Would enjoy meeting others on a similar wavelength

When?

The course starts on Friday 13th March and runs each Friday for five weeks, the final session being Friday 10th April.


About us

Fi (they/them) is a facilitator and reflective coach. They hold small group sessions that offer space for reflection, conversation, and careful thinking about life, work, and change. Their work is grounded, gently structured, and focused on creating safe, thoughtful spaces rather than providing answers.

Alex is passionate about helping people to grow and develop, having experienced radical change in himself. He is now sharing the joy and freedom that comes through letting go of the limits of who we think we are, and what we believe we are capable of.


About the venue

Hinterland is a Alcohol-free bar/cafe in the Northern Quarter of Manchester. Sadly the venue is not accessible. We are aware of the impact this has on excluding those with physical disabilities from attending and will be reviewing the impact of this for future events.
