Larger series: This is part of a larger series of explorations delving into the world of psychology and its applications to everyday life. Each meeting acts as a stand-alone—it is not necessary to have attended any of the other meetings in the series.
Topic for this meeting: In this meeting we touch upon the five essential elements of emotional intelligence (EQ), as conventionally understood (self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills), and then explore other possibilities of what emotional intelligence could mean (e.g., for healing, relational intelligence, resilience, growth, and optimized well-being).
Agenda for meeting: We begin our meetings with a warm-up exploration in small groups of 2-3, and then move into a brief talk. After the talk, we again gather in small groups of 2-3 for an applied exercise or group exploration, then come back together to share, and have time at end for free form connecting.
Who is it for: This event is free and open to all interested in the topic. Part of the vision of this series of events is the building of a community centered around deeper and more meaningful ways of connecting.
Key Takeaways:
Learning: Explore perspectives on what it means to live with emotional intelligence and its significance for a human life.
Practice: Learning various methods and processes that may help illumine possible pathways for enhanced emotional intelligence, or as a support of one’s already ongoing process.
Process: Learning about the various elements of process, such as various inner blocks, self-limiting beliefs, etc., and how these might be approached or worked through.
