It’s February . . . some of us revel in the cold and the snowiness of winter, but many of us do not. Either way, shorter days can add to everyday stress, and this program looks like a great way to enable us to brighten our lives and lighten our loads. It’s all about encouraging well-being in winter. You will have a chance to listen to speakers from different backgrounds bring their unique sense of wellness into what they do as practitioners. Tea will be served!
