Workshop Description
Two 4-hour sessions: Saturday 2/8 & Sunday 2/9 (1-5pm Eastern / 10am-2pm Pacific)
Who are you today? What do you feel called to do? This session offers practices for self-discovery and future direction. Together we will practice in a safe space silent reflection, time to privately write intuitions received in silence, opportunity to share our learning, if so moved, and listening to others who may feel moved to share their thoughts and intuitions in response to a question.
This is a four-hour session with short pauses at the end of each of the first three hours. It is open to all ages, from teenagers to nonagenarians, and will be conducted in the manner of ‘worship sharing’ — a reflective way of sharing, with pauses between each contribution. Everything shared will be considered confidential. There are six questions participants will be offered one question at a time, and motivational statements and concepts offered and invited. You will receive some written resources in advance in the form of a pdf and some Word documents to support you in any preparatory reflection and writing you choose to do.
