There's a technical term for how transitions can sometimes make us feel. That word is "yucky." But what if we could reframe how we approach transitions, whether ones we initiate or that life forces upon us? Transitions can be exciting and lead to personal growth, ultimately resulting in lives of greater coherence and alignment, once we navigate the challenging aspects.
Life design can help us move forward into that new space. The first step is to gain an understanding of where we stand in key areas of our lives, including our values and life purposes.
During this workshop, we'll engage in activities that help us discover our starting point, allowing us to plot a way forward to a new destination. There will be time for collaboration, conversation, brainstorming, and fun! We will be each other's life design team and cheerleaders all in one! When we're finished, you'll have:
Clarified where your life is right now, understood with compassion and non-judgment
Identified or reminded yourself of the values and purposes you believe are essential in your life
Identified baby steps to move you forward in key areas of your life
This is a free workshop open to anyone in transition in any part of their life. Visit this link to register.
