Each of our lives holds the possibility for a meaningful, rich journey. Much of what determines the outcome is our ability to move toward what calls us from deep within. Your calling may be to �do� something, or to spend more time in the �being� state. Whether you are being called to change careers, explore your inner realm, transform your life situation, become more creative, or self- aware, this weekend can offer some suggestions for ways to listen to the messages emerging from your inner self and outer world. As John O�Donohue expressed, �Your soul knows the geography of your destiny. Your soul alone has the map of your future, therefore you can trust this indirect, oblique side of yourself. If you do, it will take you where you need to go, but more important it will teach you a kindness of rhythm in your journey.�

Inquiries include:
What is my purpose?
What is my calling?
Should all callings be responded to?
How do we discern which are deserving of the quest?
Through experiential exercises, guided meditation, art, journaling
and reflection, you will provide yourself a framework to
understand and integrate this phenomenon of your soul.

Listen. Do you hear something calling you?
We live this precious life either by going through the
days on automatic pilot or engaging in our callings.
The Call
Your calling may to "do" something, or you may be
inclining towards the "being" state. Are you called to explore
your inner realm, change your life situation, or become more creative?
The Response
Once you recognize the calling, how do you respond?
There is a critical middle passage you must navigate.
You must discern what sacrifices you are being asked to make.
And if you're not able to fully live your calling, should you keep the embryo alive?
The Quest
The quest is a magical, mystical adventure. It is enveloped
in obstacles, trials, and tribulations. The quest is often
a time when you are asked to search your soul to ensure your
calling is not just cleverly disguised desire of the ego.
