Wednesday, May 27, 8 – 9 pm

We are living through a crisis with death, illness, and loss. We react to traumatic situations instinctively, as we learned growing up, to maintain our well-being. However, these automatic defenses also limit our capacity to adapt. In this workshop we will explore these limiting reactions to overwhelming stress and learn strategies for thriving in a crisis.
