Self Determination as a form of Personal Emergence | Monique Gray Smith
At different points in our lives, we are given opportunities to examine who we are and who we think we can be. It is usually times of great change that inspires such deep introspection. As a result of this deep introspection, we choose to emerge into more of who we really are and to use or explore the gifts we�ve been blessed with at a deeper or more meaningful way. For many of us, this process involves breaking through our self-limiting beliefs. As a result of witnessing her niece emerge from one of our First Nation�s ceremonies and the numerous opportunities life has blessed her to reinvent herself, Monique has come to realize the importance of consciously, intently and actively taking steps in her continued emergence. This talk will explore self-determination as a form of personal emergence�using the gifts you have been blessed with in the best way possible.
