Description

Like wildflowers growing through concrete, we thrive not just because of what’s within us, but because of the people, places, strengths, opportunities, and resources that surround us. In this interactive workshop, participants will explore their own Wildflower Web and discover the connections that help them grow authentically and in full color. Through play, reflection, conversation, and hands-on activities, we’ll identify what is right in each of us and how together we thrive!
