Upcoming Workshops
Power of Goodness: Core Self & Safety
Join us for this mini workshop using story to explore our core selves.
There is a place within us that is called our “core self”. It comes from a time earlier in our lives when we first felt loved, appreciated, accepted, & confident, a time when we felt that we were our best selves. Unfortunately, over time we often become disconnected from our core self. When we can reconnect and ground ourselves in that foundation - and build on it, our world can become a happier, safer, more fulfilling place.

Power of Goodness: Transforming Power
Join us for this mini workshop using story to explore our transforming power.
Transforming Power speaks to the power within each of us to “transform” any situation we encounter from negative to positive. We each have moments in life that we were “transformed” by. Who we are now is the result of some of those moments. This Power of Goodness Workshop explores the concept of “Transforming Power” through real-life stories of nonviolence and reconciliation as the focal point. Through the story and the accompanying exercises, we hope to inspire participants to be “transformative”, act with courage, and bring goodness into our lives and the lives of those around us.
