The Incredible Brain!
The Impact of Trauma and Chronic Stress on Brain Function
Do you feel like no matter how hard you try, you cannot seem to connect with people? Have you given up on finding deep, connected relationships? Do you avoid social gatherings and hangouts because you are never comfortable in your own skin? Then this seminar is for you! In an interactive lecture format, we will explore the incredible design of our brains and how life events and daily stress impacts our capacity to connect with others.
We are Family!
Communication and Bonding
The word family can be both a positive and a negative word. For some it brings up positive, loving thoughts and feelings. For others it creates intense feelings of pain, anger, and sadness. In this seminar, we will look at various barriers and pitfalls that cause distance and often disintegration in friendships, families, and marriages. We will explore avenues to restoring and strengthening trust, communication, and connection in our most important relationships.
Legacy of Resiliency
How Did I Get Here?
Have you ever sat and thought about what your life might have been like if certain events had not taken place? Some events may have been devastating and beyond comprehension. Some things may have been so glorious that you cannot imagine how you are the one that it has happened to. Either way, sometimes we go through things that are so big that we cannot fathom why or how. In a small group setting we will take time to explore the points of resiliency in our life and the lives of our parents and grandparents that have changed the trajectory of the outcome of our lives. This workshop will provide insight into the many facets of single, life events and will help individuals discover hidden or obvious strengths that have helped shape them into the person they are today and who they are still becoming.
