Each 1.5-hour session will provide opportunities to hear from others, share your experiences, and work on topics like self-discovery, goal-setting, and amplifying your impact. The sessions include group discussions, individual reflections, and peer support.

Participants agree to maintain confidentiality, support one another in a judgment-free environment, and share authentically at their comfort level. Failure to comply may result in removal from the group with no refund.
