Personal Growth

How do I follow my Inner Compass?: How many times has someone told you, “Just follow your heart”? It can often be difficult to know if your heart is guiding or if your mind is simply over-thinking. We’ll examine a few life situations and see what simple tools we can use to make decisions with a clear heart and mind.

Finding Meaning: Take time to identify what is most important to you. Learn how to make a plan to live in congruence with your values. Have fun along the way!

An Inner Journey – Exploring Meditation: Explore how meditation can be an evolutionary tool in your life to re-shape your mind and energetic system into a more integrated and holistic “you.” Learn practical heartfulness meditation exercises to improve your intuition and to expand your mind.

Social Time

Building Community through Giving: Exploring the intersection of service and connection, and the significance of banding together in order to create authentic, tangible, and long-term change in our communities.

Connecting in a time of Physical Distance: A virtual space for us to explore the social impacts of COVID-19 while simultaneously thinking through solutions that can help us to support our mental and physical health, continue to foster relationships, and stay connected during this period of uncertainty.

High Schooler Connection: A laid back session for high school-aged participants to create their own space, connect with each other, discuss issues they’re facing, and celebrate the good things happening in their lives!
