Many transitions, while difficult and challenging are predictable parts of life. Others break the rules,shattering dreams and hopes, interrupting or forever changing lives. Maintaining resiliency in the face ofsuch events can be difficult and hope may not return easily. In this interactive session, Ted Bowman, PhD, Author and Educator, will encourage participants to explore a framework for loss, which includes shattered dreams. A mixture of literary, psychological, and spiritual resources that can aid in finding hope and healing will be woven throughout the session.
