December 18 Free Brown Bag Talk on “Go From Powerless to Powerful in Five Steps”

The non-profit Ku‘ikahi Mediation Center will host a free talk on December 18th as part of their “Finding Solutions, Growing Peace” Brown Bag Lunch Series. Talks are Third Thursdays from 12 noon to 1 pm via Zoom.

This month’s speaker is Col. Debra Lewis on the topic “Go From Powerless to Powerful in Five Steps.”

“Do you ever feel like you care too much—when the world’s problems, pain, and noise feel heavier than your heart can hold?” asks Lewis.

In this uplifting session, Lewis introduces a powerful tool from her Stress Intelligence™ approach to help you stay grounded, think clearly, and make better choices under pressure. Discover how five small shifts can help you rise above the chaos and make a real difference.

Ku‘ikahi’s Brown Bag Lunch Series is free and open to the public. To get the Zoom link, contact Ku‘ikahi Mediation Center at (808) 935-7844 or visit hawaiimediation.org.
