A Course Unlike Any Other

The Wellbeing Elixir includes a mix of asynchronous learning and monthly, live group Zoom sessions. Each month, the presenters Drs. Seena and Stuart Haines will host a zoom meeting for all the course participants. This is your time to ask questions, receive feedback, and learn from your peers. You’ll appreciate the added depth that this learning community will add to your experience. The synchronous portion of this course–which is unlike any other course Magna Online offers–includes a monthly Zoom session. You’ll meet with your fellow participants and the course presenters. No other course gives you this kind of regular, direct access to the course presenters. Participants can move through the course at their own pace throughout the year and check-in each month for deeper learning and discussion. Join during the month you begin the course; the schedule will repeat, and you’ll be able to complete all 12 topics.

The asynchronous portion of the course features videos, transcripts, supplementary materials, assignments, and reflection questions to further enhance your learning. Each module provides materials that support many styles of learning and offers additional research for those who want to dig deeper into a particular subject.

You can complete these videos and assignments on your own schedule. At the end of the six units, you’ll receive a certificate of completion. Because you’ll have access to all course materials for a full year, you can revisit and refresh your learning as you progress through your wellness goals.

Achieving overall wellbeing and resilience is a balance of physical, emotional, mental, social, and spiritual practices and indicators. If you’re like many other education professionals, you recognize this. Maybe you’ve taken some steps to improve your well-being, or have tried to help your colleagues and students. But this is a heavy burden to bear, especially alone. Start building a better you with The Wellbeing Elixir!
