March 6, 9 am - 5 pm
March 7, 9 am - 5 pm
March 8, 9 am - 1 pm

Have you ever found yourself asking, “Isn’t there something more meaningful than this way too busy life I’m living?” Sarah Susanka, author of The Not So Big Life, helps us take our finger off the fast-forward button and right-size our life. She describes a process for inte-grating outer and inner worlds, helping us to see that every experience, good or bad, is food for the journey to realization of our true potential. We learn that we do not need to lead a monastic life or give up the things we love. In fact, the real joy of a “not so big life” is realizing
that it already exists in the life we’re leading. All that’s required is our full engagement.
