Natural Law: Reality & Our Relationship with the earth –
An evening talk PLFT024
What is good for the Earth?
It all comes down to this – is the Earth our mother or just real- estate? Our decisions are either good for the Earth or against it. We will examine how various human philosophies, religions, cultural beliefs and political structures have impacted our home planet. We will compare how empires have clashed with indigenous peoples, particularly in the Americas.

The Science of Happiness –
an evening talk PLFT011
What makes you truly happy? While this may seem easy to determine, research suggests most people are actually poor at judging what is deeply ful lling. Happiness is in fact a complex emotion. Examine a wealth
of recent scienti c research that challenges many of our strongly held assumptions about what makes us “happy”. See how parts of your brain often “deceive you” into falsely believing something should bring happiness when in fact
it does not. Learn “happiness practices” to take home.
