KPR Presents Book Club

Love to read? We do too! That's why we're inviting you to join the KPR Presents Book Club. It's a chance to celebrate and talk about books: fiction and non-fiction, Kansas and non-Kansas authors, best-sellers and books that flew under the radar. We'll meet every 2-3 months to talk to book lovers and authors about that month's book, its characters, plot, and themes, as well as your questions and comments. You're also invited to join the official KPR Presents Book Club Facebook group!

Description: Change is the only “constant in life” and we don’t always get to choose how it comes about. Sometimes it’s easy, other times it pushes us beyond our comfort zone, and then there are those occasions when every step seems so damn hard! Whether it’s a move, divorce, season of the year, unexpected medical diagnosis, child leaving the nest, new job (or job loss), the next stage of life, death of a loved one … change is inevitable. Yet all of these circumstances offer an incredible opportunity to gently let go of the old and powerfully embrace the new. It’s not about just surviving - but thriving in the midst of change. In this three (3) session series you’ll learn simple yet effective strategies to empower you to: Identify your feelings around a specific life change and what you may be resisting Embrace the lessons and blessings hidden within any change or circumstance Tap into the positive energy within the things you can control Step out into the world in a greater way that supports healthy ways to weather both the steady and unbalanced rhythms and cycles of life Class Fee: $75 Class Dates: March Session Class 1 of 3 March 2 @ 7pm CST Class 2 of 3 March 9 @ 7pm CST Class 3 of 3 March 16 @ 7pm CST Materials Needed: Blank paper and a pen for taking notes.
