Goal Setting Workshop
What: All of us are faced with dozens of choices every week about what to do and how to spend our time. How do we decide what to choose? Do we choose what feels good, or what sounds the most fun? Or do we make conscious decisions that are in line with our long-term visions and plans?
This structured goal setting session, guided by Wildcard and Sinclair, will provide long-term focus and create a powerful tool for moving your life in the direction of your soul's desires. We will incorporate proven goal setting techniques, along with guidance from the Tarot.
If you would like to bring your own tarot deck, please do so. Also, if you give goal setting some thought in advance, it will facilitate the process. A pillow or blanket for sitting is also recommended.

We will also have space for other food contributions. If you would like to contribute, please contact dagster (at) cox (dot) net so we will have space for you!
