Spirit at Work presents   Thursday, January 21, 2010             12:00 - 1:30 p.m.     A Workplace of Peace: Create one with joy     with Ted Kuntz,  Author and Psychotherapist Find out why a focus on "world peace" isn’t working... In our desire to create world peace, we focus most of our efforts and attention on the global arena: the Middle East, Iraq, Afghanistan -- anywhere with war or conflict. But what if peace begins with each of us, at home, in the workplace, and in our communities? Are you ready to embrace the powerful affirmation: Peace begins with me? Join Ted Kuntz as he shares his own poignant tale of learning to make peace with life after a vaccine left his son disabled at the age of five months. He’ll offer valuable insights on how to create a more peaceful and joyful life and working environment. He’ll also encourage you to take his message back to your colleagues with this inspirational prompt: "What might you do differently as a result of these ideas and strategies?"                                   click here to RSVP  -or-  phone: 604-685-6560 Date:           Thursday, January 21, 2010  –  12:00 - 1:30 pm Location:    Main Floor, Conference Rooms, Terasen Building,                    1111 W.
