October Professional Development Luncheon
Topic: Being Giveful - A wellness practice for your mind, body, and soul
If "Those who give receive," why don't we focus more on daily giving? The big idea of Being Giveful is grounded in the belief that the more we give and receive, the happier and healthier we will be. And it is good for the overall world. So, how do we adopt Being Giveful as a wellness practice? How does Being Giveful create giveful beings and enhance the well-being of all?
