Own Your Journey, Reclaim Your Joy

There is nothing more important these days than an optimism of spirit. We are living in extremely challenging times, and it is very easy to get bogged down in all of the low points. Join your colleagues on Friday, September 5 for this interactive workshop and learn how to refrain you low points as Joy Junctures and create your own Joy Practices for moving forward.
