GROW YOUR JOY

Using raucous humor and storytelling, Lauretta identifies the key lessons and strategies essential for a life of joy. Based on her wildly-popular newspaper column on the topic, the master class will offer step-by-step guidance and practical solutions for the everyday threats to our happiness and progress.

Note that this is a new class with fresh content. (In other words, join us even if you attended Lauretta's class on joyful living in 2013. This one is no rehash.)

Whether you want to rise and shine--or just spend some time laughing and thinking about what really matters--this master class is for you. Session will include a Recommended Readings & Resources List as well as a commemorative gift.
