Full course description

Tuesday, November 2nd, 2021 | 6:30-8:00pm (ET)-- Fully Online Workshop

Description:

It is easy to live life as it comes (and goes); it is an art to appreciate and savor the precious gift of everyday. When we have purpose and meaning in life we become much more serene, effective and fulfilled. Our life has direction and hope.

The workshop will help us to explore and deepen our purpose and meaning, which will open us to a new personal and spiritual integration that can energize both the process and the outcome.

Workshop Description:

The sources of burnout are many and varied such as: lack of control, unfairness, work overload, breakdown of community, loss of meaning, etc. Being well equipped in order to successfully handle these storms in our personal and/or professional life is key.

In this multi-day workshop series, we will explore and work on the 4 cornerstones of our well-being: focus, positive self-talk, connection, and meaning. Our approach to this topic also includes an infusion of Ignatian spirituality.

Participants are encouraged to attend all 4 workshops, however, there is no requirement to do so.
