Spirit

Location(s)

See map: Google MapsImprovisational theater principles and practices offer a great way to deepen our understanding of ourselves while having fun. We can laugh with others as we learn more about ourselves. We've been trained, traumatized and socialized out of the natural spontaneity of our spirit. Improv takes us out of our habitual interactions, time frames, structures, and ways of being and delivers us back into the fully alive NOW. Learning to feel comfortable in the unplanned flow - letting go of controls and judgements and surrendering to the moment - opens us up to our inner creative wellspring and nurtures our spirit.

April 2007: Befriending Death

Many of the Wisdom Traditions have understood that Death can be a great teacher about Life. In the encounter with the reality of death, whether we view it as the end or merely a passage, we can glean much about the richness of our lives.

Tom Goddard will lead the community through a series of experiential processes designed to create a series of profound learning encounters with Death. As a result of participating in this workshop, participants likely not only will have a deepened appreciation of the life we are given, but a clearer notion about how to live a life filled with meaning and joy. It is no overstatement to say that some participants in the March 2006 CSL exploration of Death, led by Dr. Goddard and Michael Smith, emerged with a radically transformed view of their lives. Some even made profound decisions that changed the very course of their lives, both professionally and personally.
