Are you part of the “Y” generation of people currently in their twenties? Generation Y grew up in the information age of social networking, texting, and constantly-connected life, yet often seek a more authentic, deeper connection to their inner wisdom. This workshop is for people who want a life that is aligned with the deep care and passion that they feel inside for the world—a life that is not confined by ideas of who others think they are and who their families want them to be.

We will practice mindfulness meditation, dyad self-inquiry exercises to reveal inner calling, and give and receive authentic feedback in the larger group.

People will have the opportunity to find a deeper connection to what is true for them and create next steps to express this truth. Through the various activities, we will allow people to more clearly see what life is calling forth in them and how that calling wants to express in the world. Participants will come away with a deeper connection of what is true for them, potential next steps to take, and identify ways the group can support each other after the workshop.
