Hope often hangs by a thread. Today, a good life requires a white-knuckled grip to keep it from slipping away. How do we thrive when it feels like we’re barely staying alive?
During this two-week series you’ll learn practical tools to help you hang on to your sanity and hope amid life’s challenges.
Each evening begins with a shared supper—because a good meal makes the day a little easier. Then, while you enjoy a TED Talk-style presentation followed by meaningful table discussions, your kids will be having a great time at their own engaging and age-appropriate program.
If you're looking for encouragement, practical insight, and the support of a thoughtful and caring community to help you face each day with more confidence, this event is for you!
