A New Beginning: Courage and Heart

Mary Goldenson

One day you finally knew

what you had to do, and began . . . — Mary Oliver

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear. — Mark Twain

"In this workshop," Mary Goldenson writes, "we will courageously peer into the depths of our hearts and minds to ask:

• Does my life reflect my heart's desires?

• If fear did not stop me, what might I be doing differently?

• What truths do I need to tell to live?

• To whom or what have I given power over my life? What must I do to reclaim it?

• How shall I live, knowing I shall die?

"More than the answers, our questions define where the real meaning of our life resides. Firmly grounded in the moment, we will explore ways to reconnect with our source of creativity and spirituality."

This workshop offers ways to help complete the past, be open to the present, and create the future. A safe, supportive environment will be provided. Didactic and experiential exercises will draw from Gestalt, Reichian work, imagery, dance, and meditation.

This workshop may have up to 34 participants.
