Life Meaning
Had a wonderful day working with two open and caring people in the all-day intensive Blueprint for Embracing Life with Meaning. Loved watching their work unfold into actually creating a blueprint for themselves that they can modify, build on and then use as a guide to make important life decisions. They were great. Very inspiring day. A long day. But inspiring! Thank you.

The fit between facilitator and participant is key.
It makes a difference when the participants are really ready to work with the material and experiences being offered to them. The right fit between the workshop leader and the people coming together to benefit from the process is essential to the success of the time together. That is why I prefer to work with people with whom I have had some previous contact, even if just a phone call.
The process that is key to the work in Blueprint for Embracing Life with Meaning requires people wanting to get a handle on what is meaningful to them. That was the best part of the day today. Working with people who want to move forward, inspires me and that inspires them. It is a spiral.
I find leading this kind of workshop is very connected to who I am. When that part of me connects with the core of the participants, my sense of meaning is fulfilled and I feel inspired too. The energy exchange is uplifting and effective.

New 7-hour Intensive Program #1: Blueprint for Embracing Life with Meaning: Let’s set a date
It is not at all unusual for people approaching or in mid life to begin to question life’s purpose. You might be asking yourself,
“What am I doing all this for anyways?”
Or perhaps you feel that you have done well in life and feel it is time to be giving back but you don’t know how or where.
Through its many challenges, life has given me the opportunity to personally work through things in a holistic way. I notice how I am feeling and work with my thoughts to shift to a healthier way of thinking. And sometimes even then I can sense that there is an energy from the past that continues to influence how I handle the present.
As I work with people, I work with both thought patterns and energy to help shift perspectives and patterns. That is likely why I am always on a learning journey. This is a newly expanding field.
With this in mind, I am in the process of developing 3 different Intensives to work with 1 to 3 individuals and guide their process. It can take place on one day to serve those whose schedules or location best suit that style.
The first intensive is now available. This first one is based on the research I did in 1990 for my doctoral thesis and have continued to build on ever since. In this particular one of the three options, the focus is really on how to find the sense of meaning and purpose from within yourself. You will leave with a Blueprint for Embracing Life with Meaning.
There are many ways people approach this whole area of life meaning and purpose and most spend a good deal of time and energy looking out there for that sense of meaning.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
In this full day intensive, you will have the opportunity to go inward. Uncovering what you didn’t know you knew about yourself is fun and inspiring. It is embracing the new midlife.
Through some well designed activities, you will create your own personal life meaning blueprint, summarizing those things that mean most to you. Not only with this be useful every day, it will also be useful as you explore new ventures and work at decisions related to life, work, relationships, retirement and more.
With the basic work begun, (and you have permission to make alterations and modifications as you become aware of more) you will begin a process of learning how to use it in an action step that will start a process of living daily life with meaning.
You may surprise yourself with what you are able to intuitively and confidently put together at this point.
Contact me today with your questions. marieknapp@rogers.com Let’s talk about how this process will be helpful for you on a day to day basis. I look forward to hearing from you.

I have always been inclined to wonder about life, about people, about who I am and what is my place here in this life. The inquisitiveness was only increased through my studies in nursing and my role as a nurse educator.
My experiences both with patients, and with students was showing me the connection between how a person feels, their mental attitude and the health of their body. Perhaps that is what prompted me to give more attention to the whole workings of an individual as a way to actually prevent illness in some people.
While I was learning all about the science of disease and how the body works in sickness and in health, I knew that there is more to life than the physical workings of the body
It is almost 20 years since I completed my doctoral research on the changes people make in their lives related to what is meaningful to them. Fascinating interviews of 20 people who experienced a workshop and set themselves up with an action plan. My work with individuals and groups in retreats and workshops has given me even more insight into the process of making meaningful change. It always amazes me how small steps can lead to very productive changes. Life Reinvention does not have to look like a tornado took over your life. You will be surprised at the calmness that comes with confidence.
To add to the effectiveness of this intensive, I am also adding two 1-hour sessions either in person or by telephone at predesignated times. And you will be able to have email contact with me at regularly scheduled intervals over a two month period as you work with your Meaning Blueprint.
The process is intensive and can be one on one if you so choose. Or you may prefer to do it with one or two other people. Your choice. You choose the people you will feel comfortable working along with in this intimate way.
Remembering the cost of one hour of therapy, you will be surprised at the reasonable investment in your well-being. If you decide to work alone for a full 7 hour (plus 2 hours later) program, your investment at the introductory rate is only $499.00.
Should you prefer to work at this with one other person of you choice, your investment would be $799 (divided by 2) . That means you would each pay only $398.50. And should you choose a third person who is agreed upon by all, the personal investment would be $999.00 divided by 3. That means each would pay only $333.00 Oh! by the way — lunch is included in a full day program.These very reasonable rates are introductory. I will be creating 2 different all-day intensives that I will be offering later this year. .
Now for those of you who live out of town, I would like to offer you the opportunity to stay at a beautiful Bed and Breakfast on the river. Jan Chamberlain offers her Memory Garden Retreats especially to people who are wanting to take time away and reflect. Her gardens are calming and healing. Her hot tub allows you to sit in nature with trees, stars, water, plants to replenish your spirit. I love to hold workshops and courses there. The energy is warm and comfortable. You will love it. And the rates are very reasonable. Go to www.memorygardenretreats.com Browse through the pictures and you will see what I mean.
I am really looking forward to talking with you. Email me at marieknapp@rogers.com or call me at 519 371 1255.
Take your first step in living daily life with meaning now. If you participate fully in and complete this process and are not satisfied with what it has offered you, I will refund your money. This means that if you complete the process as an active participant in the exercises and are willing to look inward to become more aware, I guarantee that you will have learned what is meaningful to you and will have a way to use that awareness in daily life.
I am looking forward to meeting you. Please give me a call 519 371 1255.
