In this richly experiential workshop, Rick Jarow explores the honoring of your life’s calling instead of settling for a job. You will be taken through a step-by-step process for building a self-sustaining career that resonates with your deepest levels of integrity, passion, and purpose. Drawing from his background in religious studies, small business, years of experience with shamans and healers, and a calling to serve, Rick works with you to transform your intuitions into action, to create and receive support for your visions, and to find the motivation and discipline necessary to develop your authentic vocation.
Throughout the retreat, you’ll work with issues central to establishing your work in the world successfully. Beginning with an examination of abundance and scarcity, you’ll explore your family history around work, discern your true priorities, open your creative visions, and begin to align them with your whole being. Dr. Jarow’s “anti-career” methods provide the opportunity to create new strategies for career development, uncover latent talents, and develop heart-centered prosperity.
Creating the Work You Love offers a radical, holistic approach to your life’s work, with techniques of risk assessment for building a business or personal practice, and ways to develop a career that reflects your heart’s compassion and your soul’s courage. Connect with your fundamental sense of well-being; break free of linear concepts of reality; manifest your intentions; live in conscious flow with the powers of creation; be the best steward of the gifts you’ve been given; move toward a fuller, more mature experience of freedom in action.
Dr. Jarow has helped thousands transform their work by skillfully aligning desire, vocation, and soul-force. He likes to ask Buckminster Fuller’s question: “What needs to be done that can only be done by me because of who I am?”
Rick Jarow is a professor of Religious Studies at Vassar College, career counselor, teacher of meditation, and author of Creating the Work You Love: Courage, Commitment, and Career; In Search of the Sacred; The Yoga of Work; and the forthcoming Alchemy of Abundance. Dr. Jarow’s acclaimed international seminars focus on interfacing intuitive inner experience with effective action in the world.
“More than any skill or product, the way in which we align our work with our deepest life intuitions will be the genuine contribution we make to the emerging world community.”
