Breaking the Lie of Perfectionism
In our American culture, there is increasing pressure on both men and women to "have it all together." We are caught up in the race for the perfect body, the perfect GPA, the perfect job, the perfect relationship...you fill in the blank. We believe that we must perform well in order to be worthy of love, and to prove our value to ourselves, others, and God. But what is "perfect," anyway? And who defines it? In this seminar, we will demystify the ways that perfectionism can be a source of deep pain and can keep us from living fully and authentically. We'll explore the gifts that come with embracing our imperfections and the healing that God invites us to experience in our vulnerability.

Exposing the Lie of Media & Redefining Our Body Image
We live in a culture that objectifies and devalues women (and men) through images of idealized and hypersexualized beauty. These images infiltrate our everyday lives, filling windows of shopping malls and interstate billboards. They are so commonplace that we forget how powerfully they influence us. How can we overcome our insecurities and come to view our bodies rightly? How can we see ourselves as beautiful? This Seminar will explore the ways in which we can begin to be in right relation to our bodies, to makeup, to the ways we express ourselves visually so that we can be empowered to see ourselves as we really are - as God's Beloved ones, fearfully and wonderfully made. You will know the truth and the truth will set you free.

Superhero Myth: Learning the Grace of Slowing Down &
The Importance of Self Care
Do you have many different hats you wear in your life? Ever wonder how you're going to do all the many things that are on your plate? Do you find that you are always busy and/or exhausted? Is life crowing YOU out? Many of us try to accomplish everything in very little time. Too often everyone and everything takes precedence, often to our own detriment. Yet we do not know how to change this reality. Whether you are dealing with the "supermom-syndrome", a workaholic who rarely sees his family, an over-achiever-ambitious student, or everything in between, come to this Seminar to learn about new realities and the “less is more” approach to living in order to experience God's peace in your everyday life.
