“Resolve, Resist, and Dance!”

“Existentialism highlights the importance of

..acknowledging what is,

..making choices about how to respond,

..experiencing the full range of emotion without getting stuck in any one,

..nurturing the human spirit.

“To bring the light, one must endure the burning.” — Viktor Frankl
