The Power of Storytelling and Personal Narrative Workshop

On October 24th, we will be holding a workshop led by Izzeddin Hawamda at two times for time zones at 10am-12:30pm ET and 5pm-7:30pm ET. The registration link is hyperlinked on the sessions above. Both sessions are the same content but different times for our global audience, and the ticket price is $30 for the 2.5 hour session. This workshop will be interactive, include breaks, and provide opportunities to build relationships through meaningful dialogue. At the end of the workshop, participants will also receive a certificate of completion.

Here is a brief description:

When we take time to reflect upon the stories, myths, and attachments that have shaped our identities, we begin to recognize the limits to our views of the world. We began to realize that our perspectives alone are incomplete. It is only through connecting with others and sharing stories that we can develop empathy and challenge those limitations. This workshop is designed out of a passion for the power of artistic expression and a desire to create space for meaningful story writing, sharing, and dialogue. Participants are provided with the opportunity to actively engage in thinking about their personal stories.

Register here for the October 24th Workshop at: 10am-12:30pm ET or 5pm-7:30pm ET.

Warmest Regards,

I was recently approached by Bold Journey magazine with the question, "How did you find your purpose?"

I was happy to open up for the first time and to thank those, especially beautiful Jennifer Zubick and Liz An, who have been wonderful to work with and warm encouragers and supporters along the way.

Hope this piece inspires you today!

We were lucky to catch up with Jennifer Ansell recently and have shared our conversation

Please join me in congratulating Sarah Alkhalifa who is starting at the Brampton court!

Her beautiful heart, interest in the law and caring nature will be of such great service to the people of Brampton and the judiciary she will be assisting.
