SUMMARY:Empowered Soul Enlightened Life
DESCRIPTION:A day of rejuvenation\, reflection\, and discovery for moving forward\nWith Donna Cardillo\, RN\, The Inspiration Nurse \nIn her iconic book\, “Gift from the Sea\,” Anne Morrow Lindbergh poses a profound question: “What is the shape of my life?” This new one day-program invites you to explore this and other essential questions as you navigate life’s transitions. You will ponder: Where do I go from here? How do I bring my gifts to the world? Who am I at this stage of life? Who do I want to become? \nThe past five years have left most of us feeling unsettled\, unsure\, and disconnected from those things that once brought us joy and satisfaction. You may find yourself in a transitional space yearning to find balance\, wholeness\, and self-realization. As you work to figure out your choices\, what you may need most is a day with like-minded souls being gently guided through a process designed to create clarity\, inspiration\, and self-awareness. As in Lindbergh’s book\, you’ll be using the beautiful grounds at Mercy by the Sea as both a backdrop and a metaphor for activities and spiritual practices. \nConsider disengaging from your everyday life for this energetic and uplifting program of expressive writing\, labyrinth walking\, group discussion\, short meditations\, and contemplative beach combing. Participants will connect with self and others; unleash creativity; get out of your rut and hopefully leave feeling energized to re-enter life with passion\, purpose\, and positive momentum to propel them forward. Suggested reading: “Gift from the Sea” by Anne Morrow Lindbergh and Donna’s “Falling Together: How to Find Balance\, Joy\, and Meaningful Change When Your Life Seems to be Falling Apart.” \nClick to learn more and to register.
