cafemoms are invited to enjoy a Summer of Substance!

[defineumdana]

Hello. I want to introduce myself and offer cafemom members an opportunity to make this summer a "summer of substance." I am a step-mom expecting a child of my own in February (YAY!!! - it comes after a looooong time of trying!). I have also launched a new company Defineum, which I co-founded with business partner and mom Carol Morley. Defineum is a life strategy firm that helps people create and sustain a meaningful life and provides the tools to do so. I'm writing because I believe that you moms would benefit from and really enjoy participating in our programs.  To that end, we are offering a special rate to cafemom members. So, let me tell you a little about what we do...

New York-based Defineum provides three primary service lines for individuals, corporations and organizations, including a proprietary life design methodology called the Defineum Method^TM, membership in the Defineum Network, a community of like-minded people, and access to best-in-class trainers and speakers who share transformational tools for living via Defineum Seminars - all of which help to create, reinforce, and sustain a more fulfilling life. We founded the company to address a growing need in the market to assist individuals who are in transition - whether that be entering or exiting the workforce, learning how to find fulfillment between play dates, moving through divorce or marriage, for that matter, and so on. We've created a company that appeals to our peers - successful, well-educated midlife individuals who, because of a changing world, may now be considering how life can offer a deeper sense of fulfillment and balance  Both having been longtime personal development practitioners, we saw the need for a more structured and sustainable approach to the pursuit of a fulfilling life - a modern and intelligent approach to which busy moms can relate.

We are offering YOU a special introductory rate of 10% off of all of our services. So take advantage of this offer this summer by attending one or more of our Summer of Substance Seminar Series that begins on July 15th. Carol and I believe that now more than ever, people are taking stock of their lives and revisiting what's important to them. We want to help them do just. Visit Defineum.com/whatweoffer  for more information on our three inspiring events we have slated for July 15th, July 24th, and August 4th: "Time for Your Life" at the exclusive Core Club in Manhattan,  "The Art of Self-Expression" at the gorgeous Wolffer Winery in Bridgehampton (gourmet lunch and premium wine tasting included), and "Transformational Thinking" also at the elegant Core Club. What better way to spend some mom or dad alone-time than by taking a good look at your life and how you can make it more fulfilling, purposeful and connected. The elegant locations, good food, wine tasting, and interactions with others doesn't hurt either J!

Below is some detailed information about the Summer of Substance Seminar Series:

Time for Your Life – Wednesday, July 15^th, 4:30 - 8:30 pm

Develop a greater appreciation for the fundamental importance of your relationship with time and how it shapes everything you do.

In addition, you will:

•·         Assess your life pace and personal rhythms and plan changes that will maximize happiness and productivity while reducing stress and distraction

•·         Learn how to use small increments of time to dramatically increase connectedness with sources of joy and energy and with the people you care about

•·         Learn specific mindfulness- and time-based methods of reducing stress during

the day and decompressing at the end of the day

•·         Learn how to apply these techniques both in the workplace and in relationships - whether friendships, family, or intimate relationships
