How to Write Your Personal Manifesto and Why it Matters, Now More Than Ever

Saturday 10:00am | Workshop

You may have a “To-Do” list a mile long, but are you doing what you want to be doing with your “one wild and precious life”? It’s hard to know, because there are a lot of voices out there telling us what to believe, who we should be and how we should spend our time and money and power. And they’re so LOUD. How do you resist those voices? How do you remember who you are, and what really matters to you? How do you start living in that place Frederick Buechner talks about – where your deep calling meets the world’s deep need? This workshop could be the jumpstart you need. Through some simple, fun, focused, interactive exercises, you’ll begin to craft a personal manifesto. You don’t have to be a great writer, just willing to be present, honest and ready to listen to the still, small voice inside.
