[Sdpg] Personal Sustainability 101- Esalen Institute - Jan 18-23, 2004

[Wesley Roe and Marjorie Lakin Erickson]

Hello Friends & Colleagues-

I am excited about co-creating this upcoming experiential course AND having 
the opportunity to teach it at the Esalen Institute! I would love for you 
to come. Please consider this experience as a healing retreat and small 
action step for the new year and the rest of your life!  Tell your 
friends.  I think this is a great experience for someone who is making or 
wants to make a career/lifestyle transition and knows the general direction 
they are going but needs support, inspiration, clarity and resources to get 
them to the next phase.

Have a Blessed Solstice!
Peace
~Kat

“Concern with environment will no longer be one of many single issues in 
this new century. It will move to the center of the stage. It will become 
the context of our lives, our business, our politics”   --Fritjof Capra
