Reimagine Events

Let's reimagine loss, adversity, and mortality and transform life's challenges into meaning and growth.

Each month we’ll explore a theme through the lens of post-traumatic growth, a body of psychological research that suggests the hard stuff of life can lead to the discovery of strength, optimism, more meaningful relationships, heightened spirituality, and purpose.
