Our morning sessions center on creating space in our busy lives: clarifying values, setting boundaries, and allowing new stories of meaning and purpose to emerge.

Today’s sessions explore perfectionism, grief, and forgiveness, guiding us to release what no longer serves us and embrace compassion for ourselves and others.
