Workshop fee: $45
For registration, please contact: susanwilliamscook@sbcglobal.net

In this two-day biography workshop Karen will lead participants through an exploration of childhood and adult development using the lens of the seven year cycle. Through this life review, we unearth emerging life themes that can illuminate one's purpose and direction for the future.
We will chart significant markers in our lives, such as births, deaths, divorces, geographical moves and career shifts, and reflect on the possible meaning of these events for our spiritual development.
Biographies will be shared as we are willing.
Karen has been teaching biography work for over 25 years and has a private practice for biography counseling in San Francisco. She has taught in Waldorf teacher training programs and has been a high school teacher and mentor. Karen has been a student of Rudolf Steiner for over
