Life is full of challenges – that’s part of being human. Life throws us curve balls and pulls the rug out from under all of us from time to time. We can’t change that fact of our lives, but we can change how we respond to these inevitable roller coaster rides by increasing our

resilience.


Resilience is considered to be one of the most critical qualities we can develop – the ability to bounce back, to reframe the experience, to pause and consider a helpful response to what occurred. Using discussion,

mindfulness practices and journaling, we’ll explore ways to strengthen our resilience in ways that will soften and transform the inevitable ups and downs in this life.
