Lost and Found: Divorce as a Transformational Opportunity
A Two-Day Women's Workshop with Karen Ely
June 28 & 29, 2008
Held at the Sedona Creative Life Center in Sedona, Arizona

Join author, entrepreneur and late-in-life adventurer, Karen Ely, for two days of personal discovery, of learning how to turn one of life's most challenging transitions – divorce – into a life-changing opportunity.

Karen believes that locked in the pain and chaos of divorce lays the opportunity for profound, even magical, personal growth, where we can rediscover and rekindle the hopes and dreams of the young women we once were. And that it is possible to make room for a new way of being, one that's firmly based in our authentic selves, one filled with the joy and passion that comes from living who we really are after a lifetime of being everything to everybody.

Daring to Dream: Reflections on the Year I Found Myself is Karen's personal story of rebirth following the end of her 32-year marriage, of coming to grips with a life that she could no longer live and walking toward a self that she no longer knew. And eventually discovering that she had the strength, power and wisdom to grow from life's challenges. Throughout the weekend, Karen will share her personal story and the tools that supported her on a magical journey back to herself.

Through large and small group exercises, quiet, music, joyful playing, and journaling, Karen will guide participants through an exploration back to themselves. The two-day workshop will conclude with a commitment ceremony where, instead of writing vows to another person, this time women will write promises to themselves. Come with an open mind; leave with new friends, renewed vitality and a belief that you already are the woman you've been striving to become.
