Sometimes obstacles get in the way of us being able to create a fulfilling lifestyle which is well balanced. This course will help students to explore the challenges we face when trying to create a balance in life; whilst  being able to engage in the activities which are meaningful to us.

This course teaches students how to plan a balanced lifestyle using the Kawa River Model (Iwama, 2006) as a tool for assessing what obstacles stand in our way, and what we may need to do to remove them or break them up. The Kawa River Model uses the metaphor of a river to assess the obstacles in our life which prevent us from flourishing.
