Positive Psychology is the scientific study of the strengths and virtues that enable individuals, organizations, and communities to thrive and flourish. The field is founded on the belief that people want to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives, to cultivate what is best within themselves, and to enhance their experiences of love, work, and play. It focuses on what is right with us rather than what is wrong with us.

4/7, Wednesday: TRUvies Movie Night, 6:30pm to 8:30pm. Dick Johnson is Dead

Zoom Code: 850 229 3682

 

Dick Johnson is dead. May his soul rest in peace. He will always be in our prayers… even though Dick Johnson is not yet dead.  Dick Johnson is a pleasant and cheerful man who makes you want to hug him. His daughter, documentary filmmaker Kirsten Johnson, can’t fathom the idea that his joie de vivre and kindness will forever disappear from this world. So to face her worst fears, she decided to make a movie about him because, maybe, in that way, Dick Johnson will live forever in both our hearts and eyes. But instead of interviewing him or using old home movies, Kirsten has asked her father to participate in his own fake funeral and to perform in some elaborate death scenes. Our culture is so afraid of death that we seldom approach it in such an open and honest way. This film is a reminder that death is rarely controlled and goodbyes should never be put off.
