WISDOM WHISPERS
*QUEST FOR MEANING SERIES*
2010 Seasonal Study

"When we open to being powerful, loving, creative, and wise, we experience the world and ourselves as the many splendid things that we are." ~Angeles Arrien

Wisdom Whispers "Quest for Meaning Series" will provide the groundwork to explore the archetypal patterns of the Warrior, Healer, Visionary, and Teacher.

From a cross-cultural prospective and through story, myth, music, and ritual, participants will learn about these archetypes. Using the metaphor of the Medicine Wheel, the ceremonial circle of life, participants will call upon the part of themselves that is cloaked in mystery and will begin to soar to new heights of possibility thinking, and inspiration. In our ever-changing world, people are being alled upon to live authentically creative. Connect with the good, true, and beautiful aspects of who you are--begin the journey of manifesting your life dream.
