Hollis photoApart from friends, family, and good work, what matters most in our lives? What values lead us to a freer, larger life, a more considered course? Together we will examine the crippling role fear management systems play in our choices, why we are called to chose ambiguity over familiarity,
why the world is driven by verbs not nouns, how life is most meaningful in the face of mortality, and how genuine spirituality is a journey not an arrival. A more considered life asks more of us than may be comfortable, but we are rewarded with a more interesting story.

Workshop: Saturday, March 6, 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
 Trinity Parish Church, 8th and James, Seattle
$50 members, $70 nonmembers

Together we will consider the paradoxes that we encounter in the conduct of our brief transit on this earth. Leading a more conscious life brings us to choices which either enlarge or diminish. Our time together will bring a more considered reflectivity
to our daily lives. Each person should bring pad and pen for personal reflection.

CEU Learning Objectives:

  1. Discern how a client’s personal values, philosophy of self and world, profoundly influences
    his or her mental health.
  2. Identify the ubiquity of fear management systems operating autonomously in clients.
  3. Promote a more considered awareness of the de facto “stories” served by the client,
    and move toward a more conscious authorship.
  4. Utilize an inherent desire for an enlarging spirituality to reframe the client’s understanding
    of self and world.
  5. Become more thoughtful oneself around these matters so that one is in a better position
    to meet a client’s depth and complexity.
