Join facilitators Jill Saunders and Leslie Schwarting for a heart-centered, guided journey where you will: learn a map for how to navigate your transition, a map that gives you insights and permission to step forward in your truth; practice acceptance for your journey, and consider the healing power of accepting what is; play with a resiliency toolkit and spiritual practices to provide you with renewal for your transition; clarify your core values and gain insight on how living in alignment with your deepest values can propel you forward; experience the wisdom of your future self and the guidance it has to shape a meaningful vision of possibility; get clear on your focus for the next six months to one year; learn practices to focus your energy on what’s most important and more!
