Open Circle
Sydney Metrick presents “Designing Your Life” at the Open Circle gathering at the Lake Chapala Society (LCS) on Sunday, June 27, 10:30 a.m.
Said playwright George Bernard Shaw: “Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine, and at last, you create what you will.”
We all experience many changes throughout our lives, some by choice and other changes and challenges happen to us. However, we all have the ability to make choices. Imagining what we want to have, do or be is the first step. Designing your life and living by design is not always easy, but always worth it.
Dr. Metrick, coach, teacher and author of five books on life passages, offers unwavering support, enthusiastic encouragement, and practical tools and resources.
