Active Hope Workshop Sept 30th

Want to feel hope for the future? Join Annie Warmke and Laurel Hobden on September 30th at Blue Rock Station for a day of learning how to find that hope.

The day’s theme will be based on Joanna Masey’s book “Active Hope”. The information outlines four simple steps that can be used as a tool for feeling energized and hopeful about personal life, your business, your work, your faith or the larger community. This is not about a political party but about how to find hope, and then take action for change in your life, and perhaps even in this culture.

That hope comes from four steps: finding gratitude, identifying the pain felt by the way the earth and it’s inhabitants are suffering, and then by seeing these things with new eyes and moving forward to find solutions for personal well-being and actions.
