Living and Leading with Courageous Love​

Saturday March 22nd  9:00-4:00 â€‹

We are all deeply yearning for a more loving and compassionate world.  What would it mean for us and those in our community if we dedicated ourselves to living and leading from a place of love?

 

If this question speaks to you, join in a day of healing, learning, and growth in a supportive and serene space.  Together, we will create our own unique active practice for keeping an open heart and mind.
