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 not just a chance to get a free bouquet, but to Build Your Own Bouquet. If you came to our vase painting event the week before, now's the time to fill it with a bouquet of your own creation.

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

Bringing nature inside, especially when the weather is dreary and sky is dark, can bring some joy into your life. Feel satisfied at the sight of beautiful flowers on your desk or the lit up face of the person you're sharing them with!

RELATIONSHIPS

If you're giving these away as a gift, don't forget to tell the person that you care about them. A little gesture goes a long way - and take this as a reminder that yes, flowers are nice, but showing a little love is free. It's flower this week, but how about a nice note next week? A "thinking of you" text? A hug? Remind those close to you just how much they matter, maybe that haven't heard that in a while.

ENGAGEMENT

This should be a thoughtful process. What colours go together? How many of each? A little bit of mindfulness goes a long way and this is chance to take your focus away from busy university life. Once done, not only will you have a beautiful bouquet, but a clearer mind too.

The Details

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

When? Thursday the 14th of May, from 12pm until 2pm - or until we run out of flowers!
