The Road to Resilience – A New Definition
Faciliator: Sherri Mandell
As Sherri details in her book, “The Road to Resilience,” there are seven spiritual steps of resilience:
- chaos
- kindness and community
- choice
- creativity
- commemoration
- consecration
- celebration
In this workshop she will guide the participants through each step, discussing the meaning of these steps so that you will leave with a new understanding of what it means to be a resilient person.
Free to attend, or with an optional donation to support COPE families. Reserve your spot today!
