SINGLE & LOVING IT!
A two-part workshop with Thelma Mariano, life coach and freelance writer, now happily single for 20 years.
The single life spells freedom, independence and variety—but it only works when we feel good about ourselves and take the initiative to make things happen.
This workshop is for ALL singles age 35+ who want to GET THE MOST from this period of their lives. There will be on-site exercises, stimulating discussions and helpful handouts to take home. A few of the topics covered:
- Create a more meaningful life
- What can you offer the world?
- Money, decision-making and other challenges
- Your “single's advantage”
- Get better connected—to yourself, to others
- Avoid “loneliness traps”
- Attract more love into your life (all kinds)
