Print this page The PERMAH Approach: Thriving Through Life

What if living well wasn’t about doing more, but about focusing on what truly makes a difference over time? This practical and engaging session uses the PERMAH domains: Positive Emotions, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, Accomplishment and Health, to explore how we continue to nourish and sustain wellbeing across all stages of life. Drawing on compelling long-term insights, including how the quality of our relationships at midlife shapes our experience decades later, we’ll unpack simple, meaningful ways to stay connected, energised and purposeful as life evolves.

Whether you’re looking to feel more motivated, strengthen relationships, or simply make small changes that add up over time, this session offers a grounded, human approach to what it really means to thrive.
