IYOU Event 2021: Of Stories & Stars is now a Virtual Event!
Event Purpose Statement:
To understand that we are all radiant beings of light with a place in the universe and, just like the stars in the sky, our inner light shines so brightly that we can easily navigate our way and help guide others, and we can look to the story of our past and the stories of others for guidance.
- Wonder - Intention: To understand and get in touch with our timeless and childlike inner wonder.
- Stories - Intention: To understand that the stories of our pasts have helped shape how we think and who we are.
- Dreams - Intention: To understand that when we feel lost, our intuition and dreams can show us the way back to our true selves if we listen.
- Hope - Intention: To understand that we have the power to foster a sense of hope within ourselves, regardless of our circumstances.
- Stars - Intention: To understand that we have our place in the universe, like a star in the sky, and our inner light will guide us on our journey of life.
