“Celebrating Stories: Transforming Our Lives”
In her evening presentation, “Creating Your Destiny”, Terry Laszlo-Gopadze, editor of The Spirit of a Women: Stories to Empower and Inspire, will share stories from her book with the hope that they will inspire you to live your life with more meaning, passion and purpose. Each of us has a great calling, or dream. Our dreams, our longings and even our challenges can lead us to where we belong in the world. We are creating our future, whether we realize it or not, by the stories we choose to guide us.
Author and poet, Mark Nepo, tells us of the importance of story, “Knowledge that matters, that helps us to live, comes to us through honest stories. And those only surface because of the courage of those who admit to the messy splendor of living.” Let’s gather together and celebrate the messy splendor of living!
The weekday workshops will bring participants together to hear stories with the diverse themes: “Connections”, “The Gift in the Challenge”, “Changes and Choices”. We will gather in a circle to conceive, compose, and tell stories, while being offered ideas to start your own stories. In our final session, we will carry our stories in to the Labyrinth in the Ranch’s oak grove. Every story has a gift. What will yours be?
Dear Friends,
Join us for a week in nature and enjoy every offering a world-class spa (www.rancholapuerta.com) can provide. Mary and I would love to see you and share the beauty, fitness, healthy food, interesting classes, and fun people at this magical resort. If you are interested in special discounts, please feel free to contact me.
Be well,
