Centre for
Human Flourishing
Amidst an era of unprecedented uncertainty about the future, it is still possible to carve a path toward a meaningful existence. We can honour and claim our traditions and practices, while being open to understanding other perspectives. We can find inspiration.
We help people discover what flourishing means for them and create space for different answers to coexist.
Upcoming series
Seeds of Flourishing
Seeds of Flourishing is a 8-part series that sparks conversations that will shift how you think about a good life.
During our bi-weekly 45-min online conversations, we bring lifelong practitioners with a unique perspective and explore: "What does it actually take to thrive?"
These are opportunities to listen, question, connect with others who are curious about the same path, and leave with new ideas to explore.
The series runs from March–June. Free to attend. Donations welcome.
Our approach
At the Centre for Human Flourishing, we bring together people from different worlds, with different ways of knowing, different experiences, different relationships with meaning and purpose.
We create space for you to discover and expand what flourishing means for you, in your context, with your people, grounded in what you care about most.
We also know we bring our own biases. The Centre has its own culture and assumptions. We honor them at the same time as we strive to reflect on them so they don’t prevent us from holding the space for others.
