Join us for the empowering summit focused on building inner strength for when things get tough. For many of us, there are many invisible stressors that have occurred as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns, or when we witnessed hate crimes or shooting incidents in our communities or in the news.

This June, honored speakers include representatives from the local government, healthcare practitioners and entrepreneurs, advocacy groups, and more. They will teach us different tools and techniques to strengthen our bravery and to stay positive when things are rough.

The Resilience in Action Summit’s goal is to provide an opportunity for us to learn and grow together. By coming together, we can support and build a more safe community. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to strengthen ourselves and bond with like-minded individuals.

And of course, no Summit would be complete without delicious food! We’ll provide a vegetarian breakfast and lunch if you sign up to attend. Also, if you need help understanding the presentations in another language, please let us know when you sign up.

So come join us for an exciting day of learning, inspiration, and making new friends. We can’t wait to see you there!
