Midlife
AWAKENING
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
Sometime around midlife (not necessarily
chronological) most people find themselves questioning the purpose
and direction of their life.
This midlife awakening is often accompanied by
disappointment, disruption,and fear. It is a time for revisioning
and reorienting our lives, a necessary rite of passage between the omnipresent extended adolescence of the first half of life,
and the second half with its inevitable appointment with old age
and death.
The first half of life is about the need for ego
development, growing up and manifesting oneself in the world.
The second half of life revolves around the needs of the
soul, purposeful living, new direction, risk-taking, and the
creation of a fully present and engaged life, what James
Hillman calls "growing down." This midlife window of opportunity does not remain open forever.
Alternating between presentation, interactive
discussion, writing, poetry, dreams, mythology, and ritual, this workshop will initiate a soul-directed journey that
enables you to generate enlivening new possibilities for your
life and your community.
Space is limited
