Your Soul’s Resume workshop (registration is closed)
This year we are hosting an optional, 1-day, pre-conference workshop to help you re-center in the story of your soul with a deep dive into our popular Soul’s Resume exercise.
💛 Your Soul's Resume: Reconnecting with Your Calling and Purpose 💛 Your soul has unique talents, gifts, and callings. But those deep truths can be easy to lose track of in a world that often wants to tell you who you are, rather than give you the space your soul needs to blossom. That's why we created the Soul's Resume exercise: as a tangible way to remind ourselves of who we are and what we're doing in this amazing game called life. In this one-day workshop, you’ll reflect, dig deep, and re-connect with your soul's most important values, experiences, and purpose. Give your soul the gift of a day, then watch and see what it gives you in return. 💛 When: Thursday, July 27, 2023, 9:00 am - 4:00 pm, with a 1-hour lunch break 💛 Where: Pacifica Graduate Institute's Lambert Campus, Carpinteria, CA 💛 Registration: $125, which includes lunch together on campus 💛 Please note: this workshop will NOT be streamed or recorded. Only register if you can attend live and in-person. Presented by Dr. Joanna Gardner and Dr. Stephanie Zajchowski.
