NEW YEAR IN TEN SIVE 2013

THE BEST OF THE SCHOOL OF LIFE CONDENSED INTO ONE WEEK

How can we make our lives more fulfilling? How can we enjoy better relationships with family, friends, colleagues, and most of all ourselves? How can we best negotiate the challenges of modern life, while staying true to our core values? How can we make the most of our potential and understand our limits? This intensive week draws on the very best of The School of Lifes unique programme of classes, workshops and special events to give you the chance to step outside your daily existence and think productively about your strengths and weaknesses, values and priorities, goals and dreams. We wont provide a one-size-fits-all prescription, but, through a combination of activity and discussion, we will equip you with better tools and strategies to help you find your own answers. And well help you make a robust plan for incorporating what youve learnt into every aspect of your life. This week is suitable both for those who are new to The School of Life as well as those who have already attended our classes but want to push their thinking further.
