SESSION 1

Fireside Chat with Kat Vellos

Making and maintaining friendships in adulthood can come with challenges. Author and educator Kat Vellos joins us for a fireside chat on how to overcome those challenges – even in a pandemic. Discover ways to transform a sense of disconnection into authentic connections and fulfilling friendships.  

SESSION 2

Word is Bond: Harness the Power of Writing to Create Closer Friendships

In this one-hour interactive workshop, reflect on the value of past and present friendships in your life, and use the power of the pen to boost the bonds that matter to you. Participants should have loose paper (especially if it’s fun or interesting paper but plain paper is fine too), pencils/pens, markers, envelopes, and stamps.

SESSION 3

The Friendship Map: Create an Action Plan to Weave More Connection into Your Life

In this one-hour interactive workshop, explore platonic connection from multiple angles to identify how you can invite more fulfilling experiences of friendship into your life on a regular basis. Participants should have loose paper or a journal, pencils/pens, and markers.

These programs will be held online in Mountain Standard Time (MST). A Zoom link will be sent to all registered attendees in advance.
