True North Panel Discussion at Legacy

Join Legacy for a panel discussion exploring the principles and practices of the Discovery of Self program as they relate to the success of the Minneapolis North Polars basketball team and our community at large.
The Minneapolis North Polars went from a losing team to state champions through their work with Jane Barrash as their vision, focus and mindset development coach.

We are excited to announce Jane will be joined by Cynthia Wilson (president MPLS-NAACP), Odell Wilson III (Polar Dad) and Tayler Johnson (former Polar basketball player).
Tickets to this event are $20 with proceeds going to the Minneapolis NAACP. Tickets include a link to the full film prior to the event, entry to the panel discussion and refreshments. Note we will not screen the entire film at this event.
