Come celebrate indomitable spirit. When realness is undervalued and having your own point of view is a risk, so much of what we see, hear and do ends up being someone else's response. By having a greater understanding of where we’ve been and by experiencing others who haven’t hid their light, we become freer to move about our own cabin. Blending is blah. Connect with something greater.
