Why This Conversation, Why Now
There comes a moment for every one of us when we reach the limit of what we can carry on our own: the worry, the need to figure it all out, the tight grip on outcomes we can’t control.
What if surrender is where freedom begins?
We are all practicing surrender every day, whether we realize it or not. The power comes from choosing what we surrender: letting go of what doesn’t serve us, so we can stop clinging to the mental clutter we’ve been carrying. When we do, we make room to move forward in accountability and creativity, and to grow and share our God-given gifts.
What We’ll Explore Together
The power of SURRENDER
Surrender as a lifelong practice
How releasing what doesn’t serve us creates space for everything that does
How surrender helps us arrive and live in the present moment
The power surrender creates for entrepreneurs, creatives and leaders
How surrendering our stories becomes a bridge to healing and connection
Expect stories, honest talk about what surrender looks like in real life and real business, a few goosebump moments, and time for your own questions.

Everyone Is Welcome
This gathering welcomes people of all faiths and backgrounds. If you’re drawn to a conversation about surrender, freedom, hope, peace and spreading love, there’s a seat for you.
How It All Began
More than twenty years ago, in the middle of a personal crisis, I found myself on the floor in front of my fireplace. I realized the one common denominator in every hard season was me. What followed was a prayer for accountability.
For years I believed accountability was the whole story. Over time, the work revealed what came first, every time: surrender. Asking for help, just enough to take one step forward.
