THE JOY BLUEPRINT: Building a Happier You
BCalm proudly presents The Joy Blueprint—a life-changing four-week online course inspired by the timeless wisdom of The Book of Joy by His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. These two spiritual icons reveal the essential pillars of joy—four of the heart and four of the mind—that form the foundation for lasting happiness.
In this course, we’ll explore four of these pillars in depth, combining cutting-edge neuroscience, guided meditations, and meaningful discussions. You’ll gain practical tools to help you embody each pillar and discover how to cultivate joy from within—no matter your circumstances. This journey is about reclaiming your joy, stepping into your power, and creating a life infused with more meaning and fulfillment.
Ready to elevate your joy? Join us for this transformational experience and start living with more joy and purpose.

♥I loved this course. It inspired personal growth and a deeper understanding of joy. I am grateful for my aha moment, the new insight into how my negativity gets triggered and how to dissipate that energy. S.D. Uvic Professor♥
♥Ocean’s approach is fresh and daring– while also amazingly tender and gentle. Ocean’s class and the community created in the process were of significant value to me. She provides a great environment to explore growth, to be inspired by ideas, and to gain perhaps an unexpected perspective or new understanding of life, self, and others. I highly recommend her joy course! – L. Betts, musician♥
