The Art Of Becoming Unstuck A Workshop by Arda Ozdemir
Imagine life as a hot air balloon ride. You constantly aspire to go to higher altitudes for smooth, happy sailing. Yet each time you try, your sandbags pull you down to bumpy lower altitudes, where you face challenging situations, difficult people, and negative thoughts. You feel stuck, lost, and confused.
As a former finance executive, Arda Ozdemir found himself feeling exactly like that. After years of suffering from chronic health issues, depression, and anxiety, he decided to take matters into his own hands and found relief in unique meditation and self-awareness tools like Qigong, Reiki, and Yoga Nidra. From his journey of awakening, he developed the Rise 2 Realize POWER Method, a practical five-step technique to guide you out of suffering and emotional pain toward your higher personal and professional potential.
The Art of Becoming Unstuck is your guide for life. As you go through the steps of this transformative POWER Method, you will learn how to identify, understand, and release your sandbags in order to rise above your destructive habits and to realize your ultimate happiness.
Embrace what life has to offer and discover who you really are.

Ignite Your Spark with Special Guest Speaker Kim Selby
Does anyone feel the loss of their spark? Sitting in fear or overwhelm? Can’t seem to get motivated? Just wish you had some inspiration to give you a boost?
In this webinar with Kim Selby, you will realize (in case you have forgotten) that you DO have a spark inside of you. It may have dimmed over the past year or so, but it’s there. With a few exercises to open your heart, mind, and soul and access a part of you that may have been in hiding, you will come out renewed and motivated to shine your light.
Why is this important? It’s the domino effect. When we are shining and glowing and are close to the best version of ourselves, we give others permission to do the same thing. We need everyone’s own light to shine and like a sparkler that lights another sparkler, the awe and delight that occur are contagious. When you fill your cup or ignite your spark, you have more to give to others.
Join Kim for a motivational webinar where you may laugh, may step outside of your comfort zone (not required, but….), and take part in a few exercises to open your heart and your mind to get “glowing”.
