Networking...
Hello, I'm Pat Bronson
What do you do?
I help people live courageously through the transitions in their lives. They will compose lives of active wisdom as life unfolds.
Tell me more.
Well, I created workshops and mentor programs to support people as they go through changes in their lives. In small groups, or on an individual basis, we talk about living through difficult times. The power of conversation and community forums allow participants to explore questions of identity and renewal beyond current circumstances. We create tools which serve to visualize and reframe opportunities.
How does it work?
The reality is that change is difficult...when I retired, lots had been said regarding financial arrangements but there were few opportunities to explore such questions as:
Who am I without familiar roles and responsibilities?
How will I spend my time? What matters to me?
It took me some time and lots of reading and reflection to understand who I was and to value my identity. I needed to let go of some patterns; others had disappeared. This process rekindled an idea of creation and performance. What about writing?
It is too difficult to go further alone...why not convene conversations about transition: contexts, reflections, options.
New Chapter; New Life Story and other workshops were born of my desire for community or tribe and my ability to create context for others to make their own decisions in the light of their truth.
I asked: What is your vision? What might we co-create?
How would you answer?
