A THRIVE Event

It's time for another THRIVE Lunch Stop Spot of the term! This is a drop-in event in Study @ Bloom, where you'll be able to stop by for a few minutes out of your lunch time for a new event or activity!

This week it's a House Plant Giveaway - that's right, we're giving away easy to manage house plants for free. Add some colour to your room or your desk and bring a little life indoors.

All THRIVE events and activities are set up to align with the PERMA model of positive psychology and are designed to meet at least TWO of the model's five core elements of wellbeing: Positive Emotions; Engagement; Relationships; Meaning; and Accomplishment.

Here's how this activity meets the model:

POSITIVE EMOTIONS

Especially in London, it's easy to go days without getting out into nature. But there are so many benefits. The sunlight on our skin, the soothing rustle of the leaves, the cleaner air. Let this plant be a reminder to get outside and enjoy what's out there, as well as enjoy the task of taking care of it.

ENGAGEMENT

Just like us, plants need attention and care. Pay attention to their needs - sunlight, food, water, shade, pruning? Taking care of a plant can be a loving act and taking care of one properly requires focus and patience. A neglected plant will falter, so don't forget to take some time every few days to figure out what your plant needs.

ACCOMPLISHMENT

Successfully taking care of a plant can feel great! A new leaf unravelling is a reason to celebrate! Bringing a plant back from wilting deserves a pat on the back! There's so many small wins you can get from maintaining your potted plant. You may even feel inspired to try your hand at a new plant and learn more.

The Details

Where? At the end of Study @ Bloom, Senate House

When? Thursday the 29th, from 12pm until 2pm - or until we run out of plants!
