About the Event
We all inherit something—some of it is life-giving, and some of it weighs us down. But we have a choice in what we carry forward. In this thoughtful and empowering session, Dr. Andy Stoker will explore the insights of family systems theory and invite us to consider how we can face our personal and generational inheritance with clarity and courage.
