We do not typically wake up in the morning and ask, "What sort of Self shall I create today?" But in a very real sense, that is what we do. The biggest news of the 21st century is that our Self is a story continually being created in the interaction among our genes, our body, our brain, our relationships, the food we eat, and the air we breathe. So how can we become the best steward of our ever changing Self? One key is in the story we tell ourselves; this can give us an idea about who we think we are and who we think we are capable of becoming. And through the gift of consciousness, we can change that story for the better.
Come find out how to create the best story for your Self at this gathering of award-winning storytellers from Spirituality & Health magazine. Throughout the weekend, the diverse and learned faculty each lead sessions that include lecture, group discussion, community, prayer, meditation, rest, relaxation, and contemplation as we explore how we see our Self and find out how we can become who we truly want to be.
