We shall move beyond theoretical knowledge of happiness to the experiential learning of practices that can help us become happier. Through the 6-weeks we will bring together the science and experiences that build greater well-being on the foundations of developing Mindfulness and Emotional Intelligence. Given the scientific evidence supporting these foundations, we are certain that if you ensure full commitment to the sessions, you will start experiencing greater everyday peace.

The short answer is 'no'. While the practice of Mindfulness does have some roots in Eastern religion, through this course we'll be taking a purely scientific journey founded on scientific findings and experiential aspects.

We will understand mindfulness from a scientific lens and how it helps build emotional intelligence and greater well-being. We will explore mindfulness practices such as mindful eating, body scan, sitting meditation, journaling, mindful movement and mindful yoga during the six weeks. We will also introduce mindfulness practices that you can incorporate into your daily routines. We will deepen our understanding of the functioning of the human brain, establishing a firm understanding of how we can influence our moods and reduce ruminative thinking. Towards the end of the course, we will work on establishing a personalized plan towards achieving your life goals. These include stress reduction, boosting productivity & resilience, managing interpersonal communication amongst others.

While, there are many elements that are similar to the standard 8-week MBSR course, this course has been customized to suit the requirements of the broader audience.

All you need is a laptop with camera facility, internet connection and a small notebook which you could use for journaling purpose. In addition, it'll help to find a nice, comfortable and peaceful space which you can use for the sessions. Some practices may require movement, so it would help to keep in mind that you have some open space wherever you may decide to station yourself.

For the sake of individual progress and group learning, we highly recommend not to miss any session(s). However, in case of personal exigencies, we do allow rare exceptions in case of valid reasons. Please, however, do not use this flexibility unless absolutely necessary.

While we do give some preference to people who register earlier, since we limit our batch size to 15, it's possible that you're put on waitlist and become a part of this journey in future programs.

While there is some weightage given to earlier entries, that's not the sole criteria for assembling the batch.

The short answer is 'no'. Other than the teaching instructors, nobody will have access to your details without your permission. Having said that, the program will have an option to join a WhatsApp group which we would highly recommend (for ease of communications and learning from each other).

Once you register your interest, we will send you a small intake form to learn more about you, following which we might have a tech-session of 10 minutes or so, to ensure that you're technologically sorted for the journey. Don't worry, all of this willl be completely flexible to your convenience and availability.

Tentatively, we plan to start our next batch in late April 2023. Although owing to internal restructuring it is possible that the dates get pushed to a little later.

The security deposit is a fully refundable deposit collected closer to the orientation session. It ensures your attendance in every session so that you do not miss any of the elements of the six-week sequence and the group's learning isn't affected. It will be refunded in full at the end of the course. However, if you miss any of the compulsory sessions (without providing a valid reason in advance), the full amount may have to be forfeited. NOTE: In case there is a transaction fee charged by your bank/service provider, the same will have to be borne from your end

Know Thyself Happy is a social initiative intended to reach and help people across all walks of life. We recognize that a lot of such courses are usually too expensive, making happiness affordable only to the rich. That being said, if you find the course helpful and can afford it, you may choose to contribute via the website to help this initiative expand & reach more people. This contribution, however, is a completely voluntary act of generosity and kindness. :)
