Professional help
Energetic healing

WHEN & WHERE: Saturday, April 18 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Details and registration to come. Stay tuned!

Our goal with this LACE-sponsored event is to strengthen resiliency in times of collective stress by equipping individuals with practice self-regulation tools, trauma-informed education, and supportive community networks.

Many of us are carrying extra stress in the current climate of our country. Ongoing uncertainty can make everyday life feel heavier and push self-care and emotional regulation to the margins. Yet caring for ourselves is essential. It protects our capacity to cope, to connect with others, and to keep moving forward with integrity. If this resonates with you, this workshop day may be a supportive space for you!

April 26 LACE Book Club

WHEN & WHERE: Sunday, April 26, 2026, at 2:30 p.m. at the Central Library downstairs classroom after the 1:30 LACE mtg.

We are discussing Leni de Mik’s book slowly and meeting with her via Zoom to share our thoughts. It is more than a memoir, but also an invitation to explore your inner life with “Heart Questions”. Even if you missed Part I or II, you’re welcome to join us!
