About this Event

“Most of us don't spend our lives chasing happiness. We spend our lives avoiding discomfort”

When we are overly busy, relationships are difficult, work is unfulfilling, and there’s a general lack of flow in our lives, it can often point to something we’re avoiding.

Avoidance may offer temporary relief, but fundamentally nothing changes, and often the problems worsen. In this presentation, discover how meeting difficult thoughts and feelings with curiosity can open the way to greater clarity, courage, and freedom.

  • Reclaim your attention: Get clear on what it is you really give your attention to.
  • Dismantle negativity loops: Learn how avoidance strengthens fear.
  • Move from fear to freedom: Learn to approach difficulties with curiosity


This talk is free and will be followed by a reception. All our welcome.

If you wish, you can opt to join us online. Please register for the event separately to get access information.

The School of Practical Philosophy is part of a global, non-profit, educational organization. For more information www.practicalphilosopher.org

Good company, inspiring conversation, practical tools for life.
