How Many Words are There for Joy?

Here at Joy Ventures we take joy very seriously. This is why we have exploring all forms of joy with the intention of broadening and deepening our understanding of the different sensations involved, as well as where, and when people experience joy and why.

We have begun this journey by building a list of joys from the most subtle to the most intense.

What makes you Joyful?

Take a moment to consider this question if you will and then think about where in your body you feel joy. You may be experiencing a sensation that no one else has experienced. Perhaps there is no word yet to describe what you are experiencing. If you would like to contribute to the compendium or chat about what makes you feel joyful so we can add it to the compendium please contact us.
