The Myth of the Straight Line

We’ve been sold a story: graduate, go to college, land the dream job. But for many students (and their parents), the path forward doesn’t feel that simple—or that clear. This workshop is for families navigating that in-between space, where doubt, pressure, and possibilities all live at once.

Led by Maxine Denis, founder of Find Telos—and a self-proclaimed reformed shithead kid who had no clue what they were doing—this workshop is designed to spark real conversations and open up new ways of thinking. Through guided reflection, hands-on activities, and shared stories, we’ll explore what it means to build a meaningful life (even if it doesn’t follow the “traditional” script).

Snacks and refreshments provided. Come to MHC 101 ready to think, talk, question, and maybe even laugh a little. Because life isn’t a straight line—and that’s what makes it interesting.
