TITLE: In Anticipation of the Sacred Time

PRIMARY PRESENTERS/PANELISTS: Donna Feldman

DATE OF PROGRAM: December 01, 1998

LENGTH: 49

CONTENT SUMMARY:

Many find the holiday season a particularly stressful time due to the presence of family, financial burdens, and increased expectations. As a result, it is easy to forget the meaning of the holidays. A time for stopping, calming and looking deeper becomes necessary.

The first step toward preparing for the sacred time is to slow down. Find time during the day that is strictly personal and individual. Use the quiet time to calm down and refocus ones energy on values and family. Reevaluate what the holidays mean in relation to what is important and for what the sacred time ought to stand.

This video more closely resembles a conversation among friends than a presentation. Audience members do not have microphones and are difficult to hear. The conversation is fallowed by a short meditation period.
