The Village Network of Petaluma kicks off the new year with a workshop on the pursuit and cultivation of inspiration: Presented online via Zoom and led by author Elad Levinson and based on his book Inspire Me! “Inspiration comes in many flavors and colors: It can be as small and personal as seeing something anew, or as big and collective as understanding the scope of the times we live in” says Levinson. Inspiration, he assures us, is natural to all of us, but we must cultivate it. Using Inspire Me! as the source for this workshop, Levinson will explore the science and art of cultivating inspiration, introduce skills and tools to help attendees’ spark their own inspiration, and guide them in their practice going forward. Levinson asks: “What inspires you? Who Inspired you? How do you get yourself into a mindset to be inspired?” He hopes your answers will shape and contribute to your future story. Levinson has 50 years of experience as a psychotherapist, a leader in organization effectiveness, and an executive coach. His areas of expertise include applied neuroscience and mindfulness practices. His book Inspire Me! can be downloaded for free at https://www.eladlevinson.com. He asks only that readers donate what they can to the Village Network of Petaluma for this event. The Village Network is a nonprofit membership organization of older adults ages 50+ in the Petaluma and Penngrove area.
