The Journey Toward an Undivided Life:
A Winter Courage & Renewal® Workshop
January 15-16, 2016 Dan Hines, Facilitator
We live in ever changing and challenging times. As a result we are often caught in change and flux: living life in unexpected ways. We can become disconnected from the passion that once fed us in our roles and responsibilities. We may be searching for our next step in life. We begin to scan our inner landscapes for clues. We travel further on our journey toward an undivided life. You are invited to slow down, listen and reflect. Anyone desiring to explore solitude in community is welcome. This workshop is an opportunity to renew and reconnect with the inner passion, courage and sense of purpose that gives meaning to your work and life in the world.
In these circles and with the help of conversation, creative process, stories and poetry, we will support one another re-discover the inner wisdom that guides and sustains us. Circles of Trust® experiences are facilitated in various countries and settings: the circles include those who are serving in business, education, non-profits, health care, faith communities, and other organizations in service to others. The workshop is based on the learning of the activist, social thinker, and writer Parker J. Palmer and the Center for Courage & Renewal.
Program begins at St. Paul's Cathedral, 360 Nicola St. Kamloops, BC on Friday, January 15, 2016 at 6:30 pm until 9:00 pm. It continues the next day Saturday, January 16, 2016 at 9:00 am until 4:00 pm. Program includes lunch on Saturday.
To Register: www.regonline.ca/
*Cost is recommended donation of $75 which includes workshop guide, Sat. lunch and program. You can register and use credit card, or you can indicate 'check' on payment options and pay on Friday when the workshop starts.
