The Identity Quest workshops are useful in many different ways.  

Can you identify with any of these people?

• I want to share my life story with my family. I would like to tell them about my life experiences, lessons learned and my view of the world.

• I feel emotionally stuck in my daily life. I want to change my life in some way, but I need more clarity and courage.

• I am still grieving and unable to cope peacefully with the loss of . . . my parent, my spouse, my child, my relative, my job, my financial independence.
  
  
  
  
• I grew up feeling smothered by authoritarian and/or overly protective parents. I need to break free of their conditioning and find my own way in life.
  

  
  

  
  
• I was overlooked and often neglected by my nuclear family. Or I felt abandoned and rejected, set adrift to find my own way. I want to plant roots, to find an anchor of security in my life; I need validation and support on my life's journey.
  
  
  
  
• I have not ever been able to fully express my creative impulses . . . to "speak out" and be recognized. Or I need to find a balance to the constant need to make money; to calm and center my busy life.
  
  

  
  
• I have fears and resentments that plague my daily living and often set me up for non-loving thoughts and behaviors. The actual pains of my past are still affecting daily interactions in my job and homelife. I need a program of releasing these obstacles to inner peace.
  
  
  
  
• I am motivated to live in emotional balance, but I need more tools, a path to follow, and support of like-minded people.
  

  
  
• I cannot peacefully cope with my job and my family. They are causing me unbelievable stress! I need a retreat with time for myself and my needs!
  
  
  
  
• My life is hectic. I’m running all day--meetings, phone calls, paperwork. But I think that I might be going nowhere, too fast! I want a time-out to examine the direction of my life.
  
  

  
  
• I really need a “compass” to guide my life . . . an anchor to give my life purpose and meaning. I often get this feeling inside, that I am not doing anything that really matters!
  
  
  
  
• My traditional recovery meetings are not as powerful for me anymore. I have stopped my addictions, but "something" is still missing for my long-term emotional sobriety.
  
  

  
  
• I am tired of trying “quick-fix” solutions to my life. I need an on-going, holistic program which empowers me to create my own inner peace without false expectations.
