LIVING AN EXAMINED LIFE
21 Strategies for a Richer Journey

MAIN TOPICS

The first decades of our life are mostly spent in making adaptations to the world and its demands upon us. The central project of mid-life and beyond is the recovery of a deeper sense of identity, rediscovery of purpose, and the development of a more mature sensibility. This course based both on personal experience, and forty-plus years of analysis/therapy clients, identifies and explores twenty-one tasks that await each of us. These issues transpire in our lives whether or not we are conscious of them; getting more conscious and more intentional in addressing them brings a greater measure of depth, purpose, and dignity to our Journey.

WELCOME TO THIS PROGRAM!

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

You will learn the role our history plays in our present choices, the driving engines in our patterns, and how 
we may go about gaining a greater measure of consciousness and sovereignty in our lives.
We will also explore the development of a deeper accountability for how our lives are turning out.
