Awaken the Spirit
The power of spirituality in healing and recovery
A morning of storytelling, connection and hope!
Join us for a free community gathering with a keynote from Christine Curran, Executive Director of the Ignatian Spirituality Project, who will share reflections from ISP’s work at the crossroads of spirituality, healing, and recovery.
