Vital Signs: The Nature and Nurture of Passion

What inspires passion in your life? And what defeats it? How do you lose it and how do you get it back? In this hands-on workshop, we’ll explore how you can cultivate not just a specific passion, but passion as a mindset—a stance—that helps bring vitality to all your engagements, from work and relationships to creativity and spiritual life. 

What you'll learn:
* Passion can be cultivated. Turned on as well as off. 
* Passion is in the risk. In the willingness to step from the sidelines onto the playing field.
* Passion breeds passion and disinterest breeds disinterest. If you lack passion in your own life, your other relationships—your partnerships, friendships, communities, classrooms, corporations and congregations—will be denied that energy.  
* Passion is more than exuberance; it's endurance.
* Passion is intimately related to health. To the degree that passion is vitality, honoring our passions enhances our vitality.
