“Leaning Into The Light – Rediscovering Meaning, Purpose And Passion”

Fr Hugh Lagan, SMA, opened our Autumn Programme with an interactive workshop called

“Leaning into the light – rediscovering meaning, purpose and passion”

• “Becoming” is a life long journey;
• When we reach a certain age or level of understanding, our old “maps” no longer work;
• These maps need to be replaced by our own inner compasses;
• A sense of gratitude can provide power and awareness;
• Consider “what if I already am enough?”
• If we notice we are “languishing”, and there is an absence of joy and meaning, we can drift
• without direction
• We need to surrender to what we have outgrown to make room for something new
• We can’t always be in control;
• Embracing vulnerability is at the heart of transformation;
• Reflect on the following:
• In one word, what do I live for?
• What do I look forward to each day?
• What do I know for sure?
• When you know your “why”, your “what” will follow so ask yourself:
• What is my source/flame/why?

There was a sense of aliveness and curiosity among the attendees and all agreed the day was most enjoyable and informative.
