“Change always comes bearing gifts.” – Price Pritchett
The New Year offers each of us the opportunity to ‘resolve’ to incorporate new changes in our lives. This workshop is designed to support individuals who find themselves dealing with the fear and uncertainty that can surround change. Participants will be learning about the in-between times: when things are not the way they once were and with the lingering uncertainty of what they will become.
Come join us for the first of our monthly workshops!
Date: January 12th
Times: 7PM
Cost: $10
Presenters: Anna Marie Hrivnak and Cort Hrivnak

Healthy relationships involve a balance between letting people into our inner lives while at the same time having a framework that keeps our own identity distinct and strong. This balance between vulnerability (a lamb) and power over our selves (a lion) is difficult to maintain as we sometimes let people in too close and other times not close enough. Maintaining these healthy boundaries requires a strong sense of self and inner composure. Come learn how to love yourself and build a healthy framework for having the relationships you want in life.
Date: March 2nd
Times: 7PM
Cost: $10
Presenters: Anna Marie Hrivnak and Cort Hrivnak
