Life inevitably brings moments that shake us — the end of a relationship, sudden loss, or unexpected transitions that leave us questioning who we are. At first, we resist. We cling to what was familiar, protecting ourselves from pain. Yet within that resistance lies the seed of resilience, the quiet capacity to adapt and continue.

This meeting is an invitation to explore how struggle can open the door to growth. In a world where challenges are often seen only as setbacks, we’ll reflect on how resilience helps us stay steady, and how Post-Traumatic Growth allows us to discover new meaning, strength, and possibilities after hardship.

Together, we’ll ask: How do we hold on to ourselves when life breaks us open? How do we move from surviving to transforming? And what does growth look like in the complexity of real human lives?
