Words that Matter: Exploring Universal Values

with Karen Hoffman and Susan Stein

We had a successful 5-week series in April and May on how Gratitude, Play, Resilience, Rest and Connection can have more meaningful roles in your own life. 

Series Description: 

Susan Stein (Art with Susan) and Karen Hoffman (Living on Purpose) offer a 5-session series on Words that Matter - exploring what life would be like with more attention to five universal values that we love to share:

Gratitude - Play - Resilience - Rest - Connection

We embrace this question with each word we explore together: “What would my life be like with more focus on…?”

Live that question with us — explore opportunities to invite more of each targeted word into your life. Over time, experience has shown that, gradually, your life and your outlook can be improved with micro-changes and adjustments.

Join us as we utilize creative approaches to exploring these
Words That Matter™ in meaningful and practical ways.

 

In this unique, live, online 5-week series, we focus on one specific word each session, bringing our individual and collective creativity to you in the comfort of your home.

 

We also experiment and create through art with tools you already have at home. No prior art experience required - we are tapping into ourselves; sharing is always optional. 

 

In an effort to cultivate personal growth, we spend time facilitating shared experiences around different words through poetry, texts and discussion, introducing creative activities that will illuminate what we are studying, and reflecting on what we’ve explored and how we can practically use these new tools in our everyday life.

Living Wisely Series in partnership with Retreat House

Have you recently transitioned into a new life stage? Perhaps you’re an empty nester or maybe you’re a recent graduate working for the first time professionally. You might be considering a career change, because the “old ways” just aren’t working any longer. You might even be considering a lifestyle change, because fatigue is not your desired status quo. You could even be a new parent or newly-wed and missing aspects of your old life. The situations are endless.

 

Whether you’re 23, 53 or 83 or somewhere in between or beyond, there is wisdom to collect and share in each life stage. And, age doesn’t necessarily equal wisdom, though many times it can accompany getting older.

 

Wherever you are on your path, your experience has value. In this series, we invite you to learn and share with us as we explore facets of living our best lives, with ancient and modern teachings, readings, activities and discussions.
