Event Details

Learn something new! Participants will meet once a week to work through an online course with support from others. 

For this learning circle, we will be working through the course The Science of Happiness by UC Berkeley, offered through edX.  This eight-week course explores the roots of a happy and meaningful life through science and practice. Participants will engage with some of the most provocative and practical lessons from the latest research, discovering how cutting-edge research can be applied to their own lives.

Those who do not have home Internet access will be able to check out a Chromebook and hotspot kit for the duration of the learning circle. Registration is for the entire series - participants should plan to attend all eight meetings, as each week’s material will build on the last.
