The expression Pay-it-Forward describes the concept of asking that a good turn, such as a free workshop, is to be repaid by doing a good turn to others. The good turn can be in the form of money, time, services, or good deeds.
The three (3) Workshops below are offered under this concept, but the participants are encouraged to act upon this social philosophy of Pay-it-Forward. The general rules are as follows:
1. Try to Pay-it-Forward within 90 days at least one time per workshop. If this is not possible, then within a year from the date of the Workshop.
Pay-it-Forward Workshops Details
The Workshops are designed using small interactive group exercises that will give the participants a step-by-step approach to happiness and well-being. There will be very little lecturing. Participants will learn by doing.
The Workshops unites the rigors of Positive Philosophy academic research and the study of the Enneagram (Temperaments ) so they can be used in our daily lives. The participants of the Workshop will become better, happier and more well-adjusted as individuals and a more positive member of their communities, and society.
There are three (3) Pay-it-Forward Workshops offered in succession. Pick the workshop that fit your time and needs. You can pick one, two or all, the cost is the same, just Pay-it-Forward.
