“Bumbling Beyond Political Correctness”
Whether our cause is environmental sustainability, world peace, or social justice, our positive impact and happiness can be enhanced through honesty about our motives and attitudes. In the New Year, how can we move beyond doing good only because we should, and start doing good because we truly want to?

Is it really just about the holidays, or are opportunities for bigger life improvements ahead? Whichever winter holidays you celebrate, learn ways to gain fresh perspective and get off the treadmill. Join us for a vital learning opportunity.
