The Human Puzzle: The U in You Workshop
Wednesday, Dec. 15, 7-8:30 p.m.
In this interactive and fun workshop, participants will explore what values are, what values are important to each individual and why, how they shape each individual, and how they may shift over the course of one’s life. At this workshop, attendees can expect to have engaging conversations with fellow participants in a small group setting. Individuals are encouraged to show up with an open mind to learn and prepare to have fun, and leave with a richer understanding of oneself and gain a new perspective.
