Showing up for LIFE: season after season

Join us for “Co-working & Connections” at ClubHub . This casual, online space provides for flexible participation & engagement.

Work quietly in a break-out-room, with the gentlest experience of accountability - OR - join conversation groups! Do you have a burning topic or question that you’d like to benefit from the experience, insight and wisdom of others?

Each session is brand new - you can come and go as you wish -though you might miss some fabulous conversations! Read more HERE, subscribe HERE, and get event info in our FB group

2024:Quality of Life (video)course

What do quality of life and life satisfaction mean to you? Improve your Quality of Life with a mindset of growth in a supportive, engaging group. Thank you to prior Toronto Metropolitan University participants in 2024

Perennials are rooted in self-knowledge:

• "The questions you asked made me feel a whole lot better...now I feel in control...I can't thank you enough" - P, volunteer/teacher
• I’m able to think through life questions and next steps better than before
• I’ve been able to verbalize my thoughts
• Feels good to crystallize the thought then capture it in a journal - writing down ideas gives me a map for action.
• I’m motivated to take some significant action.

…grounded in community:

• “Sharing perspectives and advice was surprisingly valuable” -M. researcher
• Friendly, with a lot of good humour
• Interaction with participants and facilitators was lovely, energizing and hopeful
• Feeling grateful for deep connection, with thoughtful, action oriented people

…attuned and adapting to environment:

• "I'm equipped to be proactive with improving my quality of life” -A, student
• Gave me a small focused number of items to do next, put into practice to make changes in my life
• Gave us an overview of important topics, and brought it down to the individual level

Using Statistics Canada’s new Quality of Life Framework, we look at society, health, prosperity, environment, governance, life satisfaction, and more. This is interactive with small breakout groupsdesigned to deepen understanding, generate ideas, enable personal reflection and develop possibility.
