Flyer for “Awakening to Spirit Through Stillness and Story,” a Zoom mini-retreat with Debra Olson-Tolar, Ph.D., on November 28, 2026, featuring colorful hearts and speaker portrait.

Awakening to Spirit Through Stillness and Story

In this mini-retreat we will slow down and connect to ourselves and to spirit.

This is a very busy time of year for many of us, and we often neglect our own well-being in favor of doing everything for everyone else.

I invite you to join me for two and a half hours to slow down. We will use our breath, poetry, and story to nurture ourselves so that we can feel more calm, centered, and able to cope with all that this season throws at us.
