Almonte Readers & Writers (ARW) invites you to join us for a candid discussion between authors Leslie Rohonczy and Dina Bell-Laroche, both specialists on the subjects of self-development, emotional intelligence, motivation, and loss. Drawing on professional and personal experiences, Leslie and Dina will delve into the transformative power of storytelling as they discuss the dynamic nature of human behaviour.
An important conversation at any time of year, it is particularly meaningful as the holiday season approaches. While the hustle and bustle can bring excitement, this can also be a difficult time of year for those experiencing overwhelm, stress, grief, loneliness, or other challenges.
With plenty of opportunity for audience participation, we look forward to welcoming you to this first event produced by ARW.
