Joy can’t be forced into existence through sheer personal effort, regardless of the setting or the season. Instead, how can we open ourselves up to God’s abiding peace and joy - even in the shadows of loss, trauma, or spiritual deprivation?

This live workshop explores the essence of joy and its profound connection to faith and the spiritual walk. You might be craving a more joy-filled life in general; you might be working your way through feelings of anger or grief, or you might be a faith leader committed to meeting the spiritual and emotional needs of your congregation. Whatever your situation, the holidays are a complex and bittersweet time for many, and this workshop can be your gateway to a joy that transcends the ups and downs.

Gain practical tools and strategies to cultivate joy, even in the face of life's most challenging circumstances. Guided by Dr. Angela Gorrell, you'll find a safe space for self-reflection and personal growth.
