Description:

So many books and seminars have emerged over the last decade with discovering one’s “purpose” as their theme. What are the cultural and historic reasons for this, given the unique shifts and challenges of our time? How do we engender the passion for the possible in our human development while discovering what that “possible” is? Is it even possible to become an artist of destiny, capable of decoding the patterns, clues, and relationships that point you to a mystery that cannot be known directly? Ultimately when it comes down to our fascination with purpose, are we fooling ourselves or are we present at the birth of an opportunity that exceeds our imagination.

Educational Objectives:

1. List some of the socio-cultural shifts that have encouraged the quest for purpose.
2. List the psychological ploys for avoiding or denying “purpose.”
3. Name three keys that have proved useful in discovering one’s purpose.
