Periodically all of us are obliged to reflect upon what matters
most in our lives. Of course, friends, family, good work and love, matter, but what beyond that? What animates our journey and lifts us out of a mere horizontal filling of days until we die into a vertical engagement with mystery? This presentation explores why our lives must not be governed by fear, how we live more in a world of verbs than nouns, and why our perduring "home" is not a geographic place but is rather found in the spiritual magnitude of our journey.
We intend to offer CEUs for Social Workers for this program.

Apart 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.
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.
