New Directions in Flourishing
Explore the science of flourishing
The science of flourishing is evolving rapidly. New Directions in Flourishing brings you to the frontier.
Over two days, Sue Langley and Professor Michael Steger will share the research, ideas and questions that excite them most right now. This is not a fixed curriculum. It is a programme shaped by genuine curiosity, grounded in science and designed to be experienced, not just absorbed.
You will leave with fresh perspectives, practical tools and a deeper understanding of what flourishing looks like for yourself and the people you work with.

- The science of wonder and curiosity – Rediscover what captivates you when the pressure to perform falls away.
- Flipping the strengths switch – Looking at strengths from a different perspective.
- Regenerative wellbeing – Explore what flourishing looks like at a systems level, beyond individual resilience.
- Embodied meaning in everyday life – Experience deeper, more embodied ways of connecting to what matters.
- AI and our humanity – An honest conversation about what artificial intelligence means for us and our values.
- Primal beliefs – How our beliefs shape us, with some homework beforehand to bring to the room.
