Lisa is proud to be giving a free presentation in Kansas City in October as part of a local parrish's mental health ministry. See the graphic for more details, or reach out with questions. Join us if you can!

A huge shout out to everyone that helped us pack, move, and unpack as we moved into our new location at Athenaeum! So thankful!

Lisa would like to invite anyone in our Still Point community to join us on Thursday mornings, beginning 9/12, for our group virtual mediation sessions.

Hosted by Nicoya Helm, each session is different based on the participants. Medication can help you learn how to apply mindfulness skills to challenges you are facing, build tools to manage chronic issues or "opportunities" life throws your way, or simply find more wholeness.

Lisa feels so strongly about the value of these sessions, she is offering these at no cost to our community. Please join us at 8:30am on Thursday, September 12th!

Email Lisa at [email protected] for more details.

Photos from the first performance of our new production with Grace House, “Behind the Mask”. Thanks to everyone that joined us!

Watch for information soon on how this show can be booked to share with others.

Wishing a very happy birthday to Tarrance Weaver!
