WORKSHOP AND EVENT DETAILS 

COACHING SALONS
What are coaching salons?  They are a way for you to casually stop by and experience some coaching first-hand.  In these hour-long salons, you'll witness three short coaching demos by three different coaches.  

Got something you're stuck around, some decision you're trying to make, or some dream that has yet to be explored?  Then volunteer to be one of the people coached and we'll help you move forward. You never know what can happen in 15 minutes!  As one of our participants said, "It was so fast! In twelve minutes of coaching, I made a decision about something I'd been talking and thinking about for over a year." 

Coaching Salons are offered by three experienced and certified coaches:  Beth Wallace,  Grif Sadow and myself on the third Thursday of the month at Dunn Brother's Coffee by Loring Park in Minneapolis.   For more info email mncoachingsalon@gmail.com or go to  http://www.eventbrite.com/event/613371611 to register.

OVERSTUFFED: How to enjoy more, spend less, and be kinder to the planet.

What would it be like to have more space in your house, or an extra hour or two in every day? How would your life change if you could spend more time on what really matters to you? Join us as we explore the connection between overflowing closets and mailboxes in Minnesota and thousands of gallons of oil flowing into the Gulf of Mexico. We’ll show you how to make your life better and help the earth by slowing the stream of stuff into your house and landfills.

Have you been to environmental lectures that left you feeling overwhelmed, drained, or despairing? Not this one! In this interactive workshop you’ll connect with likeminded people in your community and get clearer about what is most important to your happiness. You will explore your own “story of stuff” and learn how all our stuff is at the root of the planetary environmental crisis. You’ll leave knowing the first simple, concrete steps you can take to ease the pressure on your wallet, your life and the planet.
 

WORKING ON PURPOSE™ WORKSHOP Do you want to find your life purpose or calling? Are you in or approaching the second half of life? Do you want to explore alternatives to the conventional notion of retirement?  Take a day for yourself at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum!  Join facilitators Nicole Lynskey and Patricia McAuliffe for a fun and interactive day as we explore some of life's most important questions:

What would make you want to jump out of bed in the morning?

• Where have I been and how will that guide where I am going?
• What brings me alive?
• What are my gifts and where can I use them in my life and work?
• What is my calling?
• What guides me to deeper meaning?

Based on 20 years of research and practice, the central theme of the Working On Purpose™ workshop is: the power of purpose! While purpose is important at any age, it can also dramatically affect aging! When we lose our sense of purpose, we grow old faster.

This is a Purpose Project™ workshop.  The Purpose Project™ is a collaboration of the University of Minnesota Center for Spirituality and Healing and Richard Leider of the Inventure Group. For more information on The Purpose Project™ click here.

ARE YOU AT A CROSSROADS?  
Jumpstart the vision of your future 
Everyone goes through changes. Change is the only thing we can really count on. Yet most of us don't know how to successfully manage change. Maybe you’re at a transition point in your life:  retirement or the children are growing up. Maybe you noticed that what once was exciting and challenging now feels dull or frustrating. Whatever changes life is bringing your way, I would like to give you a few tools to make the transition easier.  Join me for an interactive evening as we begin to create your vision for what’s next!
