The 4 Pillars of a Meaningful Life
Week of July 9, 2022
Discover What Matters Most in Your One Precious Life
What if you had the tools to make the rest of your life the most meaningful and poignant years of all? This workshop is designed to match the flow of your time here at the Ranch by inviting you to go deeply inward in a simple, enjoyable way. We will explore the “Four Pillars of a Meaningful Life,” which reveal a simple formula for showing up each and every day of your life so you finish well in the end. Discover what matters to you most, what truly motivates you, and how you can continue to love and grow through life, as an individual and in community with your circle of people on this planet.
The Four Pillars of a Meaningful Life
How can we emerge from a global pandemic stronger, healthier, and better than before? How can we integrate and activate what we’ve learned in the last couple of years going forward? The answers can be found in the knowledge of our elders, who have faced the life experiences that come with aging and time. They are the wisdom keepers, and they have a lot to teach us, especially now. Join us to learn what matters most to people at the end-of-life, and discover how the pandemic has provided us a fresh start and a new opportunity to step back into life in a more meaningful way.
Honor Your Story
This workshop will help you to discover “YOU”, and how your unique way of being manifests itself every day. When you know and care for yourself in a wholehearted way, the walls come down and your heart is better able to connect with and feel love for all people and this beautiful thing called life that we all share.
Leave Your Lasting Legacy
Every single person leaves a legacy. What’s yours? How will you be remembered by your family, your friends, and your community? What will people say about you when you are gone? Today you’ll have the space to think about these questions, to consider your own legacy, and to explore ideas and creative ways for passing your wisdom, traditions, and love to future generations.
Show Up and Finish Well
Once we know what matters most at the end of life, we become free to let go of that which no longer serves us. We lighten our load, and we intentionally move forward in the direction of our dreams. We live with everyday joy, knowing that we are prepared and at peace for whatever life brings our way. This workshop offers essential tools to help put the four components of a meaningful life into an everyday practice, as we step back-and more fully into-our lives away from the Ranch.
