This workshop will help you discover your heart’s deepest desire and your life’s purpose.
Each of us has a reason to be alive. Each of us has things that only we can do. Each of us has gifts to offer our future selves and those around us.
Please come and look intimately at your Self to uncover your timely and timeless purpose.
There will be a mixture of presentation, guided meditation, and discussion.
Led by Hogen Bays, Teacher at Great Vow Zen Monastery
