Making Peace with Change
Sun Feb 2nd 2025 1:00pm - 2:30pm
via Zoom
Change is so hard. Change is scary! If change feels like that to you, join Christine Ellsworth, MA for five poetry sessions on a journey toward making peace with change. We'll wander through colorful poetry from around the world—and North Dakota—geared toward helping us identify where we came from, who we are now, and the amazing people we're becoming. All of that equals LOTS of change and transitions!
Adults only
This class is help online via Zoom.
