From Surviving To Thriving

Noon-6pm
Location: The Hilton

Sponsored by The Positive Vibration Foundation, Produced by Swan Michelle with The Secret Place Advocacy Center , Island Skye Wellness & Uru Yoga

Accessible and empowering education & tools that can transform acute and severe levels of PTSD for us all from surviving to thriving

Many of us have experienced the effects of acute to high levels of PTSD due to the global aftermath of a 2 plus year cycle of severe shock, change, sickness, abuse, fear, death and trauma.

Please join us in a forum of leaders in their rightful communities that will offer gentle and clear definitions, practices and open table discussions for us to leave empowered with the tools we need to thrive instead of survive and to call back the power of presence.

These presenters work full time in service to those in constant levels of stress, distress, acute and severe PTSD, coming together to advocate, recognize and disinvest in the past as to pivot attention on releasing, redirecting & receiving a new future.
