  • This workbook outlines the rigorously validated wellbeing model that underpins our work (Bas, 2018), offers a structured series of reflection questions, and points to future opportunities for flourishing.

  • Inspired by research in Self-Determiniation Theory, Eudaimonia, and Developmental Wellbeing, this self-assessment is a gentle way to check where you’re at, along with a review offered by Dr. Bas.

  • Reflective listening is a tool that fosters for meaningful communication, ensuring the other person feels heard, and deepening our understanding. Reflective listening deepens relationships and thickens the social fabric in ways that facilitate healthy communities.
