About this Event
Have you ever found yourself with pen in hand, searching for just the right words to convey your best wishes to someone special? As we age, we are often expected to offer our wisdom to family and friends, perhaps as a wedding toast, a family dinner blessing or even by sharing our thoughts in a birthday or graduation card or social media post.
This three-hour workshop will guide you through a simple step-by-step process to reflect on lessons learned during a period of transition. We will walk the labyrinth to deepen our thoughts and allow our bodies to physically “release, receive and return” our memories of a particular experience. During the final step we will transform our wisdom into a unique and heart-felt blessing.
Blessing our families and others we love by sharing our hopes for their future is a way of sharing ourselves. By transforming our learnings into blessings, we offer our wisdom and experience without attempting to control our loved ones’ lives. ~ Rachel Freed, “Women’s Lives, Women’s Legacies
Refreshments and a blessings workbook will be provided.
Suggested donation: $30 - $50
