Uncovering and Recovering Life Purpose

Our journey this month takes us into the paradox of life’s spiritual journey. “Why am I here? What am I meant to do?”
From our natural, childhood interests to cultivating our educational, personal and financially secure skills, our vocational abilities and desires are encouraged if they offer security and power, sometimes at the expense of our personal fulfillment and happiness. And as women, truly, the idea of support to follow dreams outside home and family was largely unthinkable until the last thirty years.
When we speak of, and search for, understanding and manifesting our life’s purpose, it is essential to remember that it is how we show up in our lives and the power of our viewpoint on our lives that influences life and becomes an interpretation of it. Finding purpose in every action, or simply being honest about the emptiness or satisfaction in an event, can help us make peace with opportunities lost as well as see clearly what lies beneath the surface of the personality and into the depth of the soul.
As Joseph Campbell has observed, “often truth is myth once light is shined through.” Join us in November as we touch upon some of the ways our purpose becomes buried or altered, as well as the ways we can illuminate our true personal vision and find clarity in our authentic life direction.

Susan A. Lipshutz, L.C.S.W., has more than 25 years of experience teaching and practicing integrative psychotherapy. She brings a foundation in Western medicine and indigenous spiritual practices to her work. Previously, she has served as the Director of Behavioral Sciences for the Family Practice Residency Training Programs with the Illinois Masonic Medical Center and West Suburban Hospital. Today, as a student of crosscultural spiritual practices including Andean wisdomkeepers
and Mapuche ceremonialists, Susan integrates the ancient divine feminine wisdom of our grandmothers with her own powerful modern teachings, crafting an easy-to-understand style of empowerment and self-love attuned to the complexities of today’s modern woman. Because the sacred feminine archetype is always growing and evolving, Susan is dedicated to weaving this understanding into ongoing training, studies and sacred journeys around the globe, as well as in her individual practice in Chicago. She has worked to create intentional communities where healing and evolution can occur at the
deepest level, and encourages others to offer their personal change in service of the greater collective. Her passionate work in support of universal divine feminine wisdom teachings, embodying heartfelt love and shared purpose, offers both women and men the realization of an ancient and timeless dream – a dream that we have the privilege and responsibility not only to witness, but also to co-create. Susan also has a private practice for integrative psychotherapy and can be reached at (312) 787-7077.
