Hooked: Navigating the Age of Dopamine

From endless scrolling and notifications to constant cravings for quick satisfaction, our minds are perpetually wired for the next hit. But why does chasing cheap dopamine leave us feeling so drained and distracted ?

​This interactive 1-hour workshop bridges modern psychology with timeless wisdom to help us break the loop.

Join us for a relaxed, interactive discussion where we explore how replacing cheap distractions with a "higher taste" can quiet the restless mind, reclaim focus, and unlock a deeper sense of fulfillment.
