Hi Everyone,
It seems that I'm unable to write more frequently than every two months!
I did have my 3 hour workshop at Alderney Landing Library on April 18,2009. The 9 participants rated it Good, Very Good and Excellent. It was a fun experience for me and I hope it was for the participants, as well. We had a few moments of distraction when we watched the window cleaners outside our window (I have photos). I talked about what writing from the heart means, facts about the heart, what we can do to enhance our creativity, breathing exercises and questions for you to answer to help you identify your uniqueness. The content of the workshop may be on my website, in the near future, for a small fee.
A full day workshop will be arranged for September if enough of you are interested. I will have completed a program called The Heart Essence Method by Susan Castle which helps us remove blocks to acccessing our heart and living in our Heartspace. This workshop will include writing exercises with a critique from myself and class participants. Please contact me through www.jeanneripley.com (see my contact page) to let me know if this interests you.
Recently (May 14/09), I shared a presentation with approximately 20 people at a Spiritual Seekers meeting... www.spiritualseekers.com. It was a sharing of "Things That I Have Learned" on my path to Self-Awareness.
The topic was related to our deeper personal awareness that comes from exploring our past. When we find the courage to "go there", we learn more and more of who we really are and the self-care that is needed to move from our negative patterns into living consciously. It really is about the power of emotional healing.
Knowing who we are at our core leads us to uncover our natural talents, that can lead us to our purpose, and to developing a strong sense of our Self-Worth. Our self worth comes from a deep knowing of who we are and of our unique gifts that we can share with others.
Look for a substantial portion of this presentation on my website in the near future.
Did any of you attend the presentation of Deepak Chopra, in Halifax recently? He told us (among many things) that 35% of our unhappiness is due to our childhood programming. I have been, and still am, dedicated to removing that conditioning and to laughing more.
Smiles and hugs,
Jeanne
