“I've always believed in the idea that each of us has a particular place in the universe
where we belong, and that if we find it, everything will fall into place and we will flourish…”
--Patrick O’Connell
Dear Bright Side of Life Community,
Our Nov. 15th Bright Side of Life Gathering is going to nurture another side of ourselves—the inner part of us that is longing to belong. Sahar will take us on a deeper understanding of the journey of belonging to community as it relates to our personal, business and global lives.
Join Sahar as she explores the different ways humans need to feel safe with belonging. This will be an interactive and inspiring event where you’ll have the chance to really understand where you belong.. and 'why.'
We start our evening with intentional networking, to build stronger, deeper, and a more passionate Bright Side of Life Community. This month, we have a very special treat for you:, as we invited comedian Alicia Dattner who will muses on "The Grand Cosmic Joke," inner children and how absurd and beautiful life is.
“I laughed till I cried. Brilliant writing and performing. She belongs on Letterman. Come see her so you can say you saw her before she was famous!” - Marsha Stevens
Sahar will then take the stage and share her message of "I Belong: Why the Human Heart Longs to Belong. " She will share her story of how for most of her life she never felt a sense of belonging, And how and when she discovered that she, as well as everyone else belongs in the universe. Sahar believes that all of us are a part of the tapestry of belonging that the Universe is weaving on cosmic, global and individual levels.
Sahar's message is simple and clear. When we synchronize our efforts, and are at one with all who are surrounding us, we can participate in global healing and peacemaking. Rather than focusing our attention on our differences, we should focus on the common tapestry to which we all belong. As the saying goes by Amma, "we are all beads strung together on a single thread of love."
When you join us, you will also learn how to:
- Develop your own supportive personal community in three key areas of your life.
- Increase your awrerness of the Power, Promise and Perils of Belonging to Our Family Systems. (presented by Dr. Gary Salyer)
- Better understand how to create collaborative relationships that are magnetic in your business community.
- Gain clarity on how belonging plays a big role is our global community.
We hope you will join us at the Bright Side of Life gathering on November 15th for an inspiring evening of sharing, learning and laughter.
With Love,
Sahar Kordahi
