The Right Livelihood Programme - Finding Your Deeper Purpose
|
 |
|
Visit inspiring projects, people and sacred places
Join us for a learning adventure that takes you from the magical and historic English countryside of Schumacher College and Dartington Hall, to Bhutan's sacred places and world-class Centre for Gross National Happiness (GNH).
This is a chance to realign your work and life with personal and planetary well-being as we search together for the paths towards 'right livelihood'. We explore what is wrong with the current 'system' and why it is not delivering well-being. And we look for the seeds of new possibilities and what it is that we need in order to allow something new to emerge.
This programme has three residential components, at Schumacher College and the GNH Centre in Bhutan, where you will experience people, projects and places that will help you develop plans for the future based on your own deepest values and your understanding of happiness and well-being.
During Your Visit To Bhutan you will:
- Visit historic sites around the capital city, Thimphu
- Make a pilgrimage to ancient temples and monasteries, including one of Bhutan's most sacred sites, Tiger's Nest
- Meet with local Bhutanese farmers and artisans and visit traditional craft markets
- Explore the pristine landscapes and wildlife of Bhutan
- Experience the traditional songs and dances of Bhutanese culture
- Speak to a Buddhist Lama about the meaning of "happiness" and GNH from a Bhutanese and Buddhist perspective
