Maroondah Interfaith Network invites you to:

In Pursuit of Happiness Seminar Series: What Makes Life Happy?

Date: Saturday 19 October 2019     Time: 3pm to 5pm
Location: Janssen Spirituality Centre, 22 Woodvale Road, Boronia VIC 3155

While our backgrounds may be very different, there are common goals for all human beings. We want a life that is happy. We want to live in a society which is peaceful and harmonious.
The aim of these seminars is to explore what our different traditions and what science tells us as a basis for thinking through how to live a happy and fulfilling life. We will seek to find what is common and understand our differences.

Australians see family, friends and fun as the essence of happiness, along with being able to buy what they want to buy. The means to happiness is a good job which pays well and is interesting. But is true happiness more than this?

Panel members include:

• Damian Gauci (Chan Buddhist tradition)
• Rev Lucas Taylor (Ringwood Uniting Church)
• Mary Dewberry (psychologist)
• Swami Sunishthananda (Vedanta Hindu Centre)

Following brief presentations from the panel members and discussion with them, there will be group discussion.
