David Brown presented his talk on ‘The Keys to Wellbeing’ to the HACP.
David is a phenomenal therapist with many years of experience, and this was reflected throughout the entire evening.
With humour and as a guide to the world of Languishing, the talk was well presented and interesting.
We travelled through religions and how well- being is promoted through different ancient scriptures. This was an inclusive and diverse way of interpreting keys to well-being across the history of the human species. It is comforting to know that in more modern approaches we circle back to some of the most powerful approaches and values in our existence- Humanity, Integrity, Intention- Setting, Kindness, Compassion and the possibility that there are powers bigger than what is known to us.
David invited us to connect with the 5 keys to move from Languishing to Flourishing,: Helping Others, Spirituality, Learning, Play, and Socialising, explained in the book ‘Languishing’ by Dr Corey Keyes.
I left David’s talk feeling more connected and refreshed in the togetherness of humanity. Regardless of what religion or therapeutic setting that can sometimes divide us, it is incredible to know that there are themes that always connect us in being a Collective.
