Create Your Life Book, that's a wrap! We didn't have the people power available to make online happen for Book 2, but man oh man, in person was everything we could have hoped for and more. Politics and personal ideals were kept out of our meet ups. It was a safe place for ALL.
The vulnerability was through the roof. We had laughter, we had tears, we had compassion, hugs, smiles, creativity and great discussion. Our book was utilized outside of our weekly sessions for inspiration, journaling prompts and shared with others outside the group. Books were made available in our Williams Lake office, delivered to homes and given out at our sessions and during meet up outside of sessions. We had fire fighters, store clerks, nurses, community service workers, social workers, education asistants, therapists, individuals running public services, homeschool teachers, government services, servers, gas station clerks and more. We had participants in their 20's through to their 70's +. The energy and sharing was remarkable and never to be forgotton.
Special thanks to Leah Henderson of Gentle Fire Art Therapy for leading a wonderful group art therapy workshop for the last evening of this book. The 3rd of 3 books starts mid to late October. See the comments to see hiw to chime in on the days and times for book 3.
