Changing the world – it’s a daunting task. Through her work with inspiring thought leaders like Brené Brown, activist, author, photographer, and leadership coach Karen Walrond will show us how to make change without losing the spark that got us interested in the first place.

We will talk to Karen about her journey towards activism – and her new book, "The Lightmaker's Manifesto”. Walrond will share how to work for change without losing your joy for the causes you care about and how we can take care of ourselves along the way.

This will be a heart-based conversation about joyfully advocating for justice, peace, and liberation – in the words of Walrond, becoming makers of light! Join us on January 27 at noon PT.
