Find Your Purpose at a Purpose Workshop

WAKE UP EACH DAY WITH PURPOSE AND LIVE 7 YEARS LONGER, HAPPIER!

 

Why is purpose important for health and longevity?
Okinawans call it ikigai, and Nicoyans call it plan de vida, but in both cultures of these Blue Zones, the phrases roughly translate to, "why I wake up in the morning." What’s your reason to get out of bed every morning? Studies show that people with a clear goal in life, or something to wake up for every morning, live longer and stay mentally sharper than those who don’t. When we use our time – and our gifts and passions – on things that are truly important to us, we are living with purpose.

What can I expect to gain from a Purpose Workshop?
A certified facilitator will guide participants through an interactive workshop that begins you on a purpose journey. The workshop is appropriate for all individuals age 15 years and older. In the workshop, you will clarify your purpose and set goals that will help you live a more fulfilled and intentional life. You will navigate transitions in your life, discern your gifts and talents, identify your passion, and reflect on your values. You will be equipped with the tools you need to create daily purpose practices so that you can continue the journey to discover and express your purpose in the days, weeks, and years beyond the workshop.
