THE LIVE WiLD CONVERSATION

 A one hour, no-cost, live + virtual + interactive experience.

A community of leaders from across contexts committed to a deeper examination of our personal motivations, attitudes and behaviors impacting every person within our influence. The WiLD Conversation is a whole and intentional integration of psychological science, our experiential context, and our deeper faith and humanity.

If that resonates, we hope you will join us.

Join us Friday, May 10th for a WiLD Community Celebration as we celebrate all that the live WiLD Conversation has been for the last 4 years!
