Guest teacher highlight: The path of happiness

Emotions can run our life, or we can guide them in our favor. 

At the Center for Human Flourishing, mental + emotional well-being through education take centerstage and in September Filipe Rocha will bring that message to Quinta Minuvida.

A medical school student in Northern Portugal, Filipe will be run a weeklong retreat at here focusing on cultivating emotional balance, Sep. 11 - 19.
