About This Week’s Speaker
George Cohen was so impressed with the power of the principles presented by Michael Singer’s book The Untethered Soul, that he felt moved to share them. These principles are seen as essential in the process of the freeing of the soul. George will explore the means for accomplishing this worthwhile task.
George M. Cohen worked as an educator for over 40 years. During that time he trained students, school staff, corporate employees and parents in Communication, Conflict Management, Leadership and other topics. Since coming to Santa Fe, Mr. Cohen has worked at the State Penitentiary conducting classes in Anger Management. His interest in spiritual principles has led him to study A Course in Miracles for more than 8 years. He has been an active member of The Celebration for over nine years..
About Next Week’s Speaker
For the past 30 years, Joan Sotkin has been examining alternative ways of dealing with life on many different levels. Joan does not define success as merely making a lot of money or having social or career status. Her search has been for something deeper and more meaningful and learning to integrate what she discovers into her business and personal life. Her website, www.ProsperityPlace.com, is her contribution to those of you who want to experience the “more” of life while creating satisfying and prosperous lives and businesses.
