Afternoon Workshops
1. Letting Go and Moving On
Comparing what we expected in life to what is can lead to feelings of disappointment and unhappiness. We are faced with a decision, "Will we struggle and fight with what is occurring or will we accept and deal with it head on?" Through discussion and activities, we will explore the concept of acceptance, which suggests that although we may prefer that things in our life be different, we come to recognize the futility of the struggle. This is an ultimate form of wisdom and the greatest stress reliever we can embrace.

2. Enrich Your Life:
Demystifying the Energy Flow of Money
This money workshop offers the opportunity to think a new way about money and learn the deeper meaning of money’s energy. We will explore and discover how money fears block the energy flow of wealth and blessings that are available to each of us. By changing limiting thoughts and behaviors, you can make choices that allow money to flow with ease in your life.

3. Radiant Sexuality
As we age, our bodies and sense of sexuality change also. Radiant sexuality flows from radiant beauty — mind, body, spirit. Menopause presents another opportunity to define our own unique needs and what feels good to us at this stage in our lives. We will explore radiant sexuality from a spiritual, physical and emotional perspective with stories, laughter and the "Belly Button Song." Not for married women only. Chocolate will be served!

4. Friendships: Their Making & Keeping
Our friendships may change, may even end, as our life circumstances change. In this workshop we explore how to make new friends as well as ways to maintain and care for existing friendships. Learn to make the nurturing of friendships a priority and you will have vital and long lasting relationships your entire life.

5. Your House is a Mirror of Yourself
Understand yourself and the choices you have made by exploring your home as a symbolic mirror of your inner self. Reflected here are your past, present, and how you are moving forward or being blocked on your life journey. Visualization, reflection, drawing and group sharing help you learn how to create a home for your soul and spirit to thrive.
6. Aging "Gracefully"
In this workshop, we will identify the cultural and social experiences that have shaped our identity and created our beliefs about aging. We will move from self doubt, guilt and defensiveness to choice: the choice to love and express who we are, to enjoy the opportunities the present offers, and to have fun while living the "well lived" life.
