MISSION

The mission of the Centre is to facilitate a transformative journey by (a) developing insights into the self and awareness for (and also about) the others; (b) harnessing a sustained positivity for all and adaptability to stressful experience; (c) imbibing between-ness with compassion, interpersonal skill and within-ness with passion, wisdom; and (d) enabling and evolving all with a sense of gratitude, contentment and satisfaction.

Happiness: As we understand it

1. It’s a medium through which we develop insight, awareness & wisdom than only calmness, comfort or peace

2. It’s a medium through which we understand ‘self’, ‘others’ and garner strength to evolve with sustained relationship

3. It’s a process and not simply a target to achieve

Our focus at the Centre

1. To develop the ‘science of happiness’ that broadens our intellectual, social and emotional resources
2. To attempt to use ‘happiness’ as a driver of innovation & as a social quality for community growth and connection with nature
3. To provide a direction to bring power to the new generation to fight poverty, help sustain health and strength to the weak
4. To help evolve this science with a trans-disciplinary approach and a deliverable outcome
