In a world that is increasingly chaotic and stressful, we all have a desperate need to be seen and heard. Taking care of our mental/spiritual health is crucial, not only for ourselves, but for everyone around us.

Join us for a series of 2 midweeks (online) to learn the importance of holding space and actively listening with friends and family who are struggling with mental health issues.
