Discovering Your Soul's Work

 So many of us go from job to job, from career to career and never really find the satisfaction we’re looking for. We fail to listen to that voice inside that knows what we are meant to do. In this workshop, we will start with the assumption that we all have special gifts that we need to express in this world. When we deny these talents we destroy our spirit. When we honor the wisdom of our inner voice, we will know our own answers. What makes me feel most alive and joyful? How can I make a difference and feel that my work is part of some greater plan or purpose? In this workshop, through the use of meditation, guided imagery, mandala drawing and movement, we will tap our inner being and explore our vocation or calling. We will then look at the practicality of how this translates into the real world of work.

We live in an age of uncertainty, fluctuating between fear and hope. What will happen to our careers and jobs? How can we find opportunities in adversity? What are the best current career choices? How can we reconcile our desire to do creative and meaningful work with the realities of today’s job market? This evening, Allie Roth, career coach and long-time Open Center teacher, offers us a lively talk and discussion about current employment data and her personal observations of growth opportunities. We will look at “green” jobs, careers in alternative healing, teaching and counseling, entrepreneurship, the non-profit realm, and more. Above all, we will focus on how we can take our strengths, backgrounds and deeper values and transfer them to new, viable careers now and in the future job market.
