“Everything begins in seed form and grows into an experience”. Coach Gustus
Coach Gustus will speak about the power in a seed and the importance of protecting, nurturing and preparing the fertile ground in which the seed grows. Based on Healing Opportunities for Peace and Evolution, JAIA’s theme for 2021, he will instill in you a sense of H.O.P.E. with exploring what the “growing through experience” feels, looks, tastes, and sounds like. He uses Tupac’s poem “The rose that grew through concrete”, to describe the experience of H.O.P.E., when conditions seem impossible.

“What is Healing Anyway?”
What comes to mind when you hear the word ‘healing’?: “I’m not sick, why should it matter to me?” “Who heals anyway? Do you have to be a doctor, witch doctor or priest?” “How do I know I am healing?” Join Gabriella Dennery, life coach, composer, ordained minister and speaker in conversation on what makes healing necessary (and fun) for purposeful and H.O.P.E. filled living.
