“Small is Good. Small is All.”

“Small is Good. Small is All.” is the first principle of adrienne maree brown’s Emergent Strategy. It encourages us to not be carried away by overwhelm and sadness, but rather to find the smallest positive step we can take, and then take another one and another one. Sara will talk about small things that matter even in the midst of devastation and how we can begin to recognize these tiny moments and the ripple effects they are responsible for.

“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
