Gloria Karpinski's Center Circle
 
Gloria's Calendar for 2008

September 2008:

Gloria Karpinski presents “Seasons and Cycles”,
The Changing Paradigm on Aging
September 20 & 21, 2008
The Blessings Project Foundation
823 Reynolda Road
Winston-Salem, North Carolina
Sponsor:
The Blessings Project Foundation
Few myths and assumptions in our collective consciousness are as ambiguous and puzzling and as the ones on aging. We spent time, money and energy to extend our time on earth. The message: Getting older is a good thing. And we spend equal amounts of time, money and energy to turn back time. The message: Getting Old is not such a good thing.
Anyone born anytime in the 20th century has been imprinted by the message of the old paradigm. As transitionists between the old and new; we have been challenging the old myths of every kind from the time we were babies. We are doing it more and more with aging.
It requires moving beyond a rant about the outer messages (seeking insight, we don’t continually criticize the blind.) It takes honesty, humor and compassion to examine your own myths and then discard the things you don’t really believe or choose. The reward is living your own life, creatively, on your own terms…all of your life. That is one of our goals of this intensive.
It is time that we no longer look wistfully at cultures who have celebrated and honored their elders and assume our own will never change. It is changing. We are part of that change.
*As we begin to age as soon as we are born, this intensive will be helpful to anyone at any age.
Cost:
$260.00 per person.
The cost of the workshop includes lunch and snacks for both days.
* If a hotel is needed, please contact our office and we can recommend a few.

November 2008:

Spiritual Rites of Passage
One Day Workshop
November 8, 2008
Columbia, South Carolina
Believe
Change challenges, relieves, frustrates, threatens, saddens, or exhilarates us. Mainly it forces us to grow. It is the mechanism through which nature ensures evolution and the way God calls us home."
These are the opening words of Gloria's book, Where Two Worlds Touch: Spiritual Rites of Passage, and the theme of this workshop. This experience is designed to further our understanding of the dynamics of change and to become conscious with our changes — not to just survive them. We will examine the seven stages that occur in all change. Techniques and exercises will be provided for working consciously with each of the seven steps. Methods of letting go of the old and affirming the new in order to learn how not to resist the challenges of growth will be explored. Meditations and exercises will be introduced that reinforce positive transition and encourage reduction of stress during life changes.
