How to dream

Build a life of abundance

— AN ONLINE WORKSHOP —

SAVE MY SEAT

Imagine your biggest dream coming true.

What’s the first thought that crosses your mind?

Is it: “Ahhhh, that feels amazing!”

Or is it more like…

“I’ll never have enough money/time/luck to make that happen.”

“Things like that only happen to other people, not to me.”

“Ok, but when’s the other shoe going to drop?”

If you’ve been disappointed in the past, it’s natural to feel like your dreams are always just out of reach. You might be afraid to admit what you really want, for fear you’ll never have it. Or life may feel so small that even imagining a big, bright future feels impossible.

But your potential for joy is bigger than you think.

We live in a society that wants us to believe joy is a luxury, something reserved only for the lucky few. This scarcity mindset shows up in our beliefs about money (”it doesn’t grow on trees”), success (”you get what you work for”), and even love (”you just haven’t found the one” ). These beliefs can fill you with FOMO, make you play it safe, and close you off to joy.

Here’s the thing, though:

Joy isn’t scarce. It’s abundant.

In this workshop, we’ll unravel one of the biggest myths about joy: that there isn’t enough to go around. I’ll show you how to rewire your brain to overcome the limits to your joy and cultivate a true abundance mindset. You’ll learn skills that will help you stop shrinking and start creating space to imagine and build your most joyful life.

Something magical happens when we let go of scarcity. The pressure to overwork, to compete, and to hoard goes away. The feeling that you’ll never have or be enough takes a hike.

And those dreams that once felt unreasonable? Suddenly they’re well within reach.

Expand your capacity for joy.

What School of Joy students say about our programs

"It has absolutely transformed my life. I can't tell you how grateful I am.”

BARB ROBERTSON

“I am coming up on two years since my diagnosis for breast cancer. I was very strict with myself in all ways and now I'm ready to loosen the reins. I feel lighter and more joyful.”

PAT BENNETT

"The program was deep enough to get me thinking, but light enough to keep me excited. It didn't feel like a bougie white lady "self-help" exercise but it also didn't feel like therapy. It's very accessible!"

MEAGAN

“Your work has really shaped how kind I am to myself. I learned I was putting myself second in my home and work life. I was exhausted, and dealing with anxiety and burnout. I felt disconnected with many activities and things that I've always loved. Now, I feel reconnected with these important aspects of myself.”

CULLEN LIBBY

“I absolutely LOVED the course! I learned and re-learned so much about myself working through the course content and the reflection activities. And, I walked away with several concrete steps (short-term; long-term) to increase joy in my ‘everyday’.”

SARAH

“There’s just nothing like this anywhere else.

I loved just about everything about the program: from deciding to make the time for joy, to being guided through the reflections and plan making, to actually making those changes. ”

The Experience

Science meets creativity

Your Image

What happens when a trained designer spends a decade diving into the science of emotional well-being? Workshops that bring together rigorous research and creative play to help you craft your own path to joy.

Joy isn’t one-size-fits-all, and we work hard behind the scenes to create a safe and welcoming environment. Our workshops are known for being some of the most encouraging and supportive spaces to learn online. Note: Participants who harass or bully others will be immediately removed from workshops with no refunds given.

Classes you don’t want to cut

When it comes to joy, we practice what we preach! Our sessions include interactive games, colorful visuals, and lots of live conversation to create a lighthearted energy and bring our virtual community closer. Tip: Be on the lookout for Easter eggs and other little surprises throughout our sessions ;)

Meet your teacher

Hi there! I’m Ingrid Fetell Lee.

I’m the author of Joyful, a TED speaker, and the founder of the School of Joy. Even with twelve years of studying joy under my belt, I know from experience that it can be a challenge to embrace joy in a world that doesn’t prioritize it.

My life used to look a lot different than it does now. Driven by society’s definition of success, I put my head down and worked myself to burnout. Even though I love color, my closet was full of monochrome outfits. I turned my hobbies into side hustles and tamped down my desires until I didn’t even know what I wanted.

But a funny thing happens when you study joy for a living…

I started to take my own medicine. Using everything I learned in my research, I spent the last decade developing tools and honing skills that have helped me and countless others put joy back where it belongs: at the center of our lives.

And in this brand new series, I’m sharing it all with you. These three workshops will give you specific strategies grounded in science (and tested by a global pandemic!) to harness the power of joy to transform your life, your family, and the world as you know it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I watch the workshop more than once?

Absolutely! You’ll have access to the online workshop for six months. Revisit the material as often as you’d like!

Why should I take the full series?

The three workshops in the Reclaim Joy series were designed to build on each other. Together, they help you move out of survival mode to craft a life with joy at the center. Even if one subject isn’t a focus for you right now, these are essential skills that will support you throughout many seasons of life. (And you save almost $100 when you sign up for the full series!)

In the first workshop, *How to Thrive in Hard Times*, I share an essential toolkit for finding joy even when you’re stressed, busy, or overwhelmed. By the end of this workshop, you’ll feel lighter and more equipped to deal with life’s inevitable ups and downs.

The second workshop, *How to Get Unstuck*, builds on this foundation by helping you overcome the common obstacles to creating a life you love. Often we start out enthusiastic about making changes to our habits or lifestyle, only to get derailed by a critical comment or a rush of self-doubt. This session unpacks the fears and limiting attitudes that keep us small and stuck, and gives you tools for staying true to your desires even when there are bumps in the road.

And in the final session, *How to Dream*, you’ll learn how to expand beyond the limitations of your circumstances and see joyful new possibilities for your life. This workshop breaks down the ways we deny our desires, from self-sabotage to unworthiness to the fear that what we want isn’t possible. You’ll leave knowing how to free yourself from the baggage that has held you back from your dreams, and ready to make them a reality.
You can sign up for the full series at www.aestheticsofjoy.com/reclaimjoy

Can I take the first workshop and then get package discount later?

Unfortunately, no. This deal is only available when you sign up for the full Reclaim Joy series.

How long is the workshop?

The workshop lasts about 2 hours. This includes time for teaching and interactive exercises. You can watch it all at once, or break it up into a few watching sessions. You can also pause at any point if you'd like a little more time to reflect on the exercises.

How is this different from your book and other programs?

The material in this workshop series has been developed through private talks and workshops, and has never been available to the public before. While JOYFUL and my other resources help build a foundation for thinking about joy in your life, this workshop series is a chance to work together deeply on a journey to transform your life for joy.

What should I do if I have more questions?

Email us! Send us a note at [email protected] and we’ll happily help.

Joy is limitless.

Create space for peace and possibility.
