MEDITATION FOR EVERY DAY LIFE<br />

THROUGH LIFE’S TRANSITIONS<br />
Cindy Loughran, Instructor,<br />
Are you experiencing a transition in your life Maybe<br />
you are or are about to be an empty nester, or you<br />
have been at the same job or career for a long time<br />
and you are ready for a change. Perhaps you’ve<br />
always identified yourself by the roles you’ve played<br />
and now you just want to be you. Or, maybe you are<br />
ready to finally do those things that for years you’ve<br />
been saying you’ll do ‘as soon as…” For those ready<br />
to take action, this workshop will provide clarity,<br />
support, and creative ideas so that you can go through<br />
your particular transition with ease and fun. We will<br />
focus on identifying what is next for you, creating a<br />
roadmap to get there, setting yourself up to succeed,<br />
overcoming obstacles and stay motivated. Limited to<br />
