Stress happens to all of us. Why can two people be in the same situation and respond to stress differently?  Can going through stressful times without stress be a learned skill?  Everyone will come away with information, tools, and techniques to help manage stress and anxiety and help regain and restore balance and calm.  Everyone will learn a technique to minimize stress and anxiety and maximize vitality.

***Please Note: This is Part 2 of 2 parts. While attendance at both events is recommended, it is not required.  You are welcome to come to one or both.
