Plato
"Man, a being in search of meaning."--Plato
 As leaders of the Meaning Movement, many people have been sharing with us that they feel a general lack of Meaning in both their personal and work lives. Although some people say meaning comes from happiness and success, we strongly believe that authentic happiness and true success come from meaning. Meaning is the foundation and the source of energy in our lives. If we know the underlying principles of our lives and work, we can operate from a deeper sense of meaning and realize our true potential. We can become more deeply engaged, resilient, and innovative. We can live and work with Meaning!
Everybody Say OPA!

OPA! Center for Meaning Grand Opening
OPA! Center for Meaning Grand Opening! 
On June 2, 2012, we celebrated the Grand Opening of the OPA! Center for Meaning in historic downtown Santa Fe, New Mexico USA! We were joined by our dear friend and special guest, Agapi Stassinopoulos, author of the newly-released book, Unbinding the Heart: A Dose of Greek Wisdom, Generosity, and Unconditional Love. The OPA! Center has been specially designed with a Greek theme (part traditional Greek village and part ancient Greek temple) to foster experiential learning that is both memorable and meaningful. Here participants ask the deep questions, explore the core lessons of The OPA! Way, and discover new ways to find joy and meaning in their everyday lives and work.
