Extreme Positivity 2.0 - Overflowing Generosity

We live in a world where bad news travels fast, fear grabs our attention, and negativity has had decades to occupy our mental real estate. What if, for once, we turned the tables? What if we flooded our surroundings with so much goodness that it became impossible not to know it, feel it, and be it? Welcome to "Extreme Positivity 2.0 - Overflowing Generosity" where we take our best finds and see what happens when we broadcast it on everyone around us. This isn't about pretending life is perfect or forcing ourselves to be happy. It's about deliberately creating hope for hope's sake, then seeing what happens when this new energy gives people permission to flourish, heal, and become positivity beacons themselves. Expect more expressions of goodness than you've ever experienced packed into 3 hours. Some of you will immediately know you need this right now as you read this invitation. Others might not realise how much they've needed it until afterwards because sometimes, the busyness of life gets in the way of noticing, appreciating and sharing good news. Because positivity isn't just something we can cultivate within ourselves. It's something we can give and multiply... **Who is this for?** * anyone surrounded by toxic environments or negative people * those who need to communicate optimism and convince others to embrace positivity, whether professionally or as a business owner * people who would benefit from connecting with a diverse network of humans working to make the world a better place in different fields **What will happen?** * exercises to discover what brings people to life and learn what makes each other tick * team challenges that turn feelings of joy, awe and ecstasy into expressions of goodness for others to experience * simulations to explore and practice the power of words, thus honing in awareness of how the way we communicate matters a lot **What will you get out of it?** * leave very, very, very positive about yourself and others * learn techniques and tools to make positivity feel more natural and become your new default * gain a greater appreciation of your own influence in the world 🎟️ This is a ticketed event.

I offer a full refund if you’re not completely satisfied. Your connection and growth are my priority. Meet Your Facilitator: Hey, I’m Maz. I came to Australia at 16 with no English and felt deeply out of place for a long time. By 18, life felt heavy enough that I didn’t want to be here anymore. After that, I learned how to numb. Games, substances, distractions. I was alive, but not really living. Something eventually shook me awake. I realised how precious life is and that I didn’t want to waste it. The path out wasn’t clean or easy, but over time I let go of the habits that were keeping me disconnected and rebuilt a real relationship with myself and with life. I studied psychology for over five years and was halfway through my Master’s, working as a provisional psychologist, when I chose to step away. I respect that world deeply. I also realised that what helped me most, and what many people need, are lived, relational spaces where honesty and presence are practised, not just talked about. These workshops are my way of creating those spaces, for people wherever they are on that spectrum. From numbness to aliveness. From disconnection to real contact. If this speaks to you, I’d be glad to hold the space with you. What Past Participants Are Saying: "Thank you so much for last night! It was one of the most deeply healing things I've ever done" " Love your events and all the creative and fun games which really made it so much easier for people to share their emotions, release their volurabilities and connect!" "Last night was so much fun .... Oh! You probably are aware of this already .. but I thought your last event was awesome from a “singles mingle” point of view… I realised that Men were being open about themselves and it was so nice to be able to go deeper than surface level … even make a connection or two" " When I came in I felt low energy and anxious was even considering leaving I am glad I did not becasue now I am feeling energised and connected" Have Questions?
