Unearth your gifts

Shine our Light!

Register for the one that speaks to your heart when you read the descriptions below, OR make it a Mini-Retreat Day and come to BOTH events! Dig deep at Unearth Your Gifts then celebrate your strengths that you bring to the community with us at Shine Your Light! Research says that through creativity, connection, and flow, we generate more happiness by letting go of fixed perspectives to clear the way for seeing things in a new light.


***Both events will be held to raise funds in support of The Veteran’s Spouse Project’s NEA grant match whose arts programming help military spouses and veteran caregivers create, connect and heal in community. Wendy is the founder of their Made For You workshop program and Barbe is a workshop facilitator and serves on the VSP board. See what a workshop is like! https://veteransspouseproject.org/made-for-you/
