April 17, 2026: The Messy Middle: Navigating Change with Calm and Confidence
Hosted at ModernWell Wayzata
Let’s be honest: change is rarely a graceful, Pinterest-worthy transformation. Most of the time it feels like being stuck in that awkward in-between space—like your life is buffering, but you still have 27 tabs open and a meeting starting in five minutes. That is the messy middle. And while it’s uncomfortable, it’s also where the real growth (and the real honesty) happens.
In this fun, grounded, and refreshingly real 60-minute session, we’ll talk about what it actually looks like to navigate uncertainty without spiraling, ghosting your goals, or trying to “optimize your morning routine” into perfection. Instead, you’ll learn practical tools rooted in psychology, nervous system science, and self-compassion—delivered with zero judgment and plenty of knowing nods.

Hosted at ModernWell Minneapolis
Let’s talk about Love!
We are going to have a bit of fun and games at this Gathering. How about a Reflection Fishbowl and Joy Mail? Our topic questions will be light and thoughtful. How do we receive kind words and compliments, do we speak to ourselves kindly and lovingly, has our love for ourselves grown as our spirituality has grown?
In Spiritual/Religious traditions Love is seen as the fundamental force of creation, the Divine essence and unifying principle of all existence. This month we start a 3-Part series on Love.
Part-1: Self-Love (The Inner Journey), honoring ourselves as beloved creations of The Divine.
