a "taste of" The Wisdom of Living Well

Program Details

This event is an introduction to our longer experiential workshop called “The Wisdom of Living Well,” an interdisciplinary experience of making wise lifestyle choices that align with the Creative Spirit’s invitation toward well-being.

Whether at home, at work or in our communities, complex interactions can present a perfect storm for chronic disconnection, disintegration, and dis-ease at all levels. Co-facilitated by a Lifestyle Medicine physician and a Spiritual Director, this taste event reinforces that wise lifestyle choices empower our human capacity to shift from basic survival toward Divinely inspired thriving. Together we will explore the relationship between life in fullness and wise lifestyle choices, the five key human capacities known to impact well-being, and various basic practices and resources that inspire sustainable lifestyle changes toward well-being.

Through practical, evidence-based conversations and exercises, this taste of “The Wisdom of Living Well” invites the desire to consider what lifestyle changes might support our whole-person well-being. Hmmmmm…Who knows? You may just want to take the longer journey with us!

Registration Fee: $50
A zoom link will be emailed to you upon registration.
