Upcoming Webinar Feb 15th- Kelly McGonigal Q&A: The Joy of Movement and Heart-Mind Well-Being

We caught up with psychologist, bestselling author and Oprah’s first ever O! Visionary, Kelly McGonigal (and her two cats!) to find out what you can expect from our upcoming Heart-Mind webinar on February 15, from 9:30-11am PST.

Let’s take a closer look at who this webinar is for and how Kelly will guide us through the links between movement and happiness through psychology, neuroscience and social interaction .

Q.
Sometimes we’re hesitant to sign up to a webinar when we don’t know what to expect - will I be participating? Will it be more lecture style? Could you give people a quick intro about what to expect from your session with us on February 15?

Heart-Mind Well-Being Workshop

Join the Dalai Lama Center for a workshop dedicated to learning how to promote HEART-MIND WELL-BEING in children and youth!

Heart-Mind well-being refers to the balance between educating the mind and educating the heart. While there is a great focus in our society on academic achievement, a growing body of research shows the positive impacts of developing our hearts – the way we relate to one another – and that social/emotional development helps to improve academic success.

In our Heart-Mind Workshops we share current research, scientific knowledge, best practices and practical strategies related to the promotion of social and emotional development in children.

Dalai Lama Center for Peace and Education: CEO Job Posting

The Dalai Lama Center for Peace and Education is looking for a visionary and inspiring CEO to grow the organization’s impact on children’s social and emotional well-being.

The Center was co-founded in 2005 with His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama, to further his vision of “Educating the Hearts” of children. As a non-religious and non-political charitable organization, the DLC is a highly trusted source for social and emotional resources and training. Last year we reached more than 700,000 children through the adults in their lives. The new CEO will need a growth mindset to meet our goal of reaching 3 million children by 2025 in North America and internationally.
