&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There are so many of us that are tired of &amp;quot;business as usual&amp;quot; and want to take off the &amp;quot;corporate mask&amp;quot;, because we are living a real life with real challenges. We need a place to connect with like-minded individuals that are on their healing journey, as it can be a lonely path to mental and emotional freedom! If that resonates, then this event is for you!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Our February topic of discussion is entitled &amp;quot;The Mind-Body Connection: Your Secret Language of Success&amp;quot;, which will delve into the ideas of &amp;quot;thought&amp;quot; being the language of the mind and &amp;quot;emotions&amp;quot; being the language of the body. Once you learn how to consciously connect these intuition-based communication systems (mind-body intelligence), you will gain the ability to block out the &amp;quot;noise&amp;quot; within and around you in order to take decisive action from day to day.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We will also discuss the importance of a proper diet (what we feed our mind, body, and soul), as this significantly impacts our ability to tap into mind-body intelligence.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We will engage in rich dialogue, small group learning activities, and provide practical &amp;quot;how-to&amp;quot; next steps to empower personal healing and transformation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;AS A REMINDER, LIGHT BITES AND ADULT BEVERAGES WILL BE SERVED AT THIS EVENING EVENT!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We look forward to seeing you there!&lt;/p&gt;
