You are welcome into this online facilitated circle to tap into personal renewal. If the Courage & Renewal® approach is new to you, this is an opportunity to have a small taste of exploring personal renewal through story, music, poetry and self-reflection. A brief question-and-answer session will follow.
– Offered as a ‘free’ event — the cost is your investment of 75 minutes for your own self-care.
Our time together will include time for silence, guided discussion and experiences with poetry, art and wisdom traditions, essays–all aligned with the Center for Courage & Renewal’s mission to “… nurture deep integrity and relational trust, building the foundation for a more loving, equitable, and healthy world.” Mary Louise Peters will be joined by Amy Christianson in gathering this circle.
