Walking on the bright side: The art of living
This category is about how to live to the full – without fears, self-doubt, worrying about the future or insecurities. It is also about integrating your life into one continuous whole, about being able to be open and to experience the world, about realising what is important for you and what is not. Throughout your journey, you will look at your own life from different perspectives, finding your own sources of strength and resilience. You will look in your past, future and present and being able to make best of your situation.

20th October: Pleasure (without guilt?)
27th October: Relating to death (who wants to talk about it?)
3rd November: Importance (Setting Priorities)
10th November: Attachment (or detachment, or non-attachment?)
17th November: Resilience (a tough one)
24th November: The Past (the real ghosts)
