 The term ‘human flourishing’ has existed for thousands of years, originally coined as eudaimonia (meaning human flourishing or happiness) by the philosopher Aristotle.

 Spirituality and human flourishing are inextricably linked and to flourish is an active process of living out the virtues that guide our moral agency.

 Positive psychologists argue that human flourishing embraces a wide range of psychological constructs that offer insights into what it means to be happy and to feel well. The PERMA model is one way of operationalising this approach.

 Considering ‘the conditions for human flourishing’ enables us to think about the broader landscape of life and how our embodied engagement with all aspects of living provides opportunities for growth, development and transformation.

 Using all our senses in a holistic embodied engagement attunes our senses to the richness of the universe and the riches available to us for our own flourishing and that of others.
