There will be 6 sessions: 3 in-person at Tau Center and 3 virtual via Zoom \n\n\n\n\nSaturday\, September 9\, 2023 ~ 10am – 3pm at Tau Center: Honoring the Past\n\n\n\nWednesday\, October 11\, 2023 ~ 6:30pm – 8pm via Zoom:  Shifting Traditions\n\n\n\nWednesday\, January 10\, 2024 ~ 6:30pm – 8pm via Zoom: Exploring New Identities\n\n\n\nSaturday\, March 2\, 2024 ~ 10am – 3pm at Tau Center: Being in the Present\n\n\n\nWednesday\, May 8\, 2024 ~ 6:30pm – 8pm via Zoom: Evolving our Living Spaces\n\n\n\nSaturday\, August 17\, 2024 ~ 10am – 3pm at Tau Center: Designing the Future\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Our Facilitator \n\n\n\nFor nearly 20 years\, Karen Bychowski spent much of her time as a management consultant\, traveling around the United States and across the world. She assisted large organizations in navigating change as part of her work with a Global Fortune 100 Consulting Company. In October 2019\, she took steps to find meaning in the second half of her own life\, leaving this career to follow a greater calling she felt God had for her. \n\n\n\nKaren is a Professional Certified Coach through the International Coaching Federation and is passionate about helping others explore and live out the greatest purpose for their lives. She frequently coaches those experiencing various transition points in their professional and personal lives\, using a combination of inquiry\, reflection\, and experimentation to help them find greater meaning in their journey.
