The journey to creating a meaningful life is not just a personal journey, it is a collective journey of being in connection with others to better understand our individual and shared histories, the values we carry, the stories we tell, and the gifts we bring to our communities and world.

The Essence of Lacretia J. Flash
I believe the ability and willingness to face the past with courage, to grow from our experiences, and to harness our strengths enable us to move forward with greater authenticity, clarity, compassion, and wisdom. These practices and ways of being have been core to my journey and I welcome the opportunity to bring these insights and practices to those seeking to cultivate a shared vision and a more restorative approach to being in community with each other.
