WHAT WE’VE BEEN UP TO LATELY
Writing with Generation WOW!
We are always pleased to support Donna Orender’s programs, especially Generation WOW, a program for teen girls. This past Tuesday, we had the privilege of holding space for approximately 450 Duval County high school students as they listened to others’ stories and shared their own through letters to their future selves. We were all inspired by their words.—JW
Soothing Our Souls in the Circle
During major events like a national election, gathering in a circle can be grounding and healing as we share ideas, impressions, and personal reflections. We were grateful for that opportunity this week.—JW
RETREAT TO THE COTSWOLDS
