– ABOUT THIS OPENING WELCOME SPEAKER –

Finding Our Centre and Our Happiness.

As we centre ourselves for a weekend of inner and outer exploration, Barbara will share her happiness formula and the key ingredients to finding inner peace in the midst of a busy life.

Together we’ll wind down from the week behind us and open our hearts to fully welcome the new experiences to come.

We’ll explore the power of our mindset and discover that by enhancing our own inner peace we positively impact those around us.

Happiness has a ripple effect!
In this session, we’ll have an opportunity to connect to ourselves and each other, as we start spreading our positive ripples.

In her book, Good Morning, Life! One Woman Waking Up to Happiness, One Moment at a Time, Demone shares the collected insights from her journals and reveals her stress-tested formula to enjoying:

  • Confident and compassionate leadership
  • Effective, guilt-free parenting
  • Cool-headed decision-making in heated situations
  • Less drama; more harmonious relationships
  • And that priceless yet elusive state: abundant, unfettered happiness.
