POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY – From Marseille to Nice
This voyage is far more than a sailing trip along the Côte d'Azur. It is a journey to oneself. At its heart lies the power of Positive Psychology according to Martin Seligman – a scientifically grounded approach concerned with the conditions of a flourishing life. Themes such as subjective well-being, personal character strengths, meaning, identity and sustainable life satisfaction accompany this voyage in a natural way. The distance from everyday life and the special atmosphere at sea create a setting in which new perspectives can emerge.
Chartered psychologist and author Oliver Vogelhuber accompanies this voyage as mentor and conversation partner. His book »Positive Psychologie – Profile Your Life!« forms the substantive foundation of many conversations on board. The insights it describes about strengthening subjective well-being, character strengths, personal growth and flourishing are not merely conveyed on this voyage, but made immediately tangible.
Our trip is thus the practical realisation of the ideas in this book. On the sea, far from everyday life and with space for genuine personal development.
The rhythm of this voyage is not governed by a rigid timetable, but by the wind, the sea and the possibilities of the moment. Usually we spend only a few hours under sail before anchoring in a sheltered bay or calling at a historic harbour. Swimming, snorkelling, evenings together on deck or simply enjoying the tranquillity of the sea are as much a part of the experience as spontaneous conversations that arise precisely when no one is watching the clock.
Herein lies the special character of our voyage. With each day the distance from familiar routines grows. Constant availability, the pressure to decide and the perpetual need to function lose their significance. In their place come engagement with oneself, one's own plans and challenges.
This voyage begins in Marseille and ends in Nice. Yet its true destination is not the next harbour, but a change of perspective. We sail deliberately in short stages along the Côte d'Azur, past the Calanques, the Îles d'Hyères, Cassis, Sanary-sur-Mer, Toulon, Saint-Tropez, Antibes and the Îles de Lérins. In between lie quiet anchorages, crystal-clear water and sufficient time not merely to see the landscape but to truly let it work upon you.
After the voyage there remains more than the memory of beautiful bays and striking coastal landscapes. There emerges orientation, greater inner clarity and the good feeling of having come a piece closer to oneself.
