$10, registration required
Health psychologist/speaker/writer Kari Leibowitz discusses concrete strategies for thriving in winter and learning to see the season as a time of joy and opportunity. Based on her research and experience as a Fulbright scholar in Tromsø, Norway—a place so far above the Arctic Circle that the sun doesn't rise from November to January—Kari will shed light on how a slight shift in mindset can make a big difference.
