  2. The Invitationby Oriah Mountain Dreamer • What is your Invitation to others? • What Invitation have you answered? • What is the Invitation that is in front of you now?

  3. Living From Divine Passion and Purpose Working Definition: Connecting with something larger than ourselves that has us feeling energized while taking action to make the world a better place, no matter how small or how large these efforts might be.

  4. Reflection Questions • Where in your life do you need to reconnect with Divine passion and purpose? • What is it you’re doing that reflects something that used to be true and is no longer based on who you are now? • Where do you need to take a break to rejuvenate in order to come back to Divine purpose with renewed vigor and passion? • Where do you need to add meaning?

  5. Living From Divine Passion & Purpose • What personal contribution do you feel really great about? • When do you feel closest to God, the Divine, the Universe, something greater than yourself? • Describe a time when what you were doing was so important that the struggle, discomfort or even pain didn’t matter. • Describe a time when you felt really alive. What was going on?
