We are excited to have you join us for the Season Finale of our journey through the Deeper Joy Community Building map. Today we’re arriving at the Canyons of Deeper Sharing!

In this episode, we are joined by Kitty Kalebarn and Lenore Bajare-Dukes to explore the Canyons - where we practice vulnerability in sharing and receiving the gifts of community, whether that is witnessing one another's life experiences or the challenges we're grappling with, or through making meaning together - listening to each other's stories and moments of awe and wonder.

Join us on this final exquisite Journey of Deeper Joy!
