In early 2021, Sheryl heard an interview with Dr. Paul Ekman, a pioneer in emotions research, and his daughter.  He responded to a question by indicating the next thing he would study would be moods, and it would take 5-10 years for the research.  Upon reflection, Sheryl concluded humanity needs to reclaim positive moods now.  This led to several months of focused attention on how to integrate personal experiences with the needs of clients to create a fun and focused way to rewire or reinforce human neurology to expand our positive, life affirming individual and community trajectory as a social species. 

The >200 statues by G. Vigeland in Frogner Park in Oslo Norway contributed to her interest in moods.  These lifesize statues represent a wide range of human emotions, raw and naked in full expression.  In 2019 she spent a week experiencing the Vigeland collection.  To ponder; Do the Norwegians score at the top of the happiness world surveys because emotions are boldly and inclusively represented in the capital?

The concept was introduced at the 2021International Brainspotting Conference.    Simply put,  people gather with curiosity and a willingness to participate in a mood enhancing experience.  Sheryl facilitates the session and guides the process to maintain the focus on the selected "mood theme" .   She presents a template for participants to introduce themselves and promotes positive mood empowerment concepts in a focused and fun way.
