How to Generate Hope Within Yourself (As the World Falls Apart)

🌍 Join us for an inspiring evening with Stephanie Cowan!

What if hope isn’t just something you wait for, but a skill you can cultivate? In a world that often feels loud and unstable, discovering the power of hope may seem challenging. This engaging lecture will reframe hope beyond blind optimism, introducing the innovative concept of “glimmer maxing.”

Stephanie, blending insights from neuroscience and psychology, will guide you in noticing and amplifying moments of safety, awe, and connection that can help regulate your nervous system and restore a sense of agency.
