“My main goal was to learn and to meet like minded people. I wanted to learn more about Flow. I want to be involved in a community and tribe to share and discuss about the topic.The Flow Centre seemed like the ideal platform to do this.”
“I had been passionate about Flow since I started studying performance related topics. During my Masters in Sport Psychology, I read Csikszentmihalyi’s book on flow and it sprked an enthusiasm for the subject. Ever since, I have been hungry to learn more”

There are so many great people behind the organistion, and so much hard work invested on making it happen that it just ‘flowed’.”
