PROSUMERS 2024 YEAR-AT-A-GLANCE

MEETING TOPICS SUBJECT TO CHANGE!

January 19, 2024

Change Your Life Using Words 

Change your language and you can change the world. Unwittingly, we begin using language which does not empower us or other people, yet we seem helpless in changing it. We will talk about the power of words, how it can give your life richness and happiness you may not have noticed before and techniques to keep those words in the forefront of all you do. Seriously, your words create your reality. Your reality creates your actions. Your actions give you your life. This is one of the most important meetings to attend. And what a way to start the year!! 

February 16

Meditation/Mindfulness/Spirituality/Finding Connection 

Anyone of these topics could fill the meeting time and to do all four is going to be quite unique. Rather than a deep dive into all of these, we are going to brush lightly upon each one and talk a lot about the interconnectedness of all four. All of these feed on one another and will enhance our life, our spirit and our sense of community. There will definitely be a sense of peace and calm as we explore this topic together. You should leave rejuvenated and uplifted.
