About this event

**THIS IS AN IN-PERSON PROGRAM AT THE JEWISH COMMUNITY OF AMHERST (JCA) SOCIAL HALL 742 MAIN ST.**
Drawing on the wisdom of spiritual sages, and the research findings of neuroscience and positive psychology, this workshop will inform and engage participants in the practice of building joy through connection. Pat Romney will present her Joy Pods model, inspired by the writings of St. Augustine, the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy. She will talk about how she is helping individuals and groups to build more joy in their lives and finally, we will connect and have fun!

About the speaker: Pat Romney is a psychologist and a member of the Amherst Neighbors Board of Directors. She has lived in Amherst for 42 years and she loves spreading joy wherever she can.
