March 16th – Feeling Joy + Awe in Difficult Times

Heart Wisdom Panel:
Feeling Joy + Awe in Difficult Times with Sherry Richert Belul, Allen Klein, and Irene O’Garden
1:30 pm / PT

During the pandemic, we saw the ways that depression and mental health impacted so many people of all ages. Over the last weeks as the violence in Ukraine has continued, it has added to an already-heavy sense of despair in the world. 
 
People need to feel some relief from the grief, fear, and discouragement. We need to be uplifted and reminded of our spirits. 
 
Cultivating a sense of joy and awe can be a great addition to our self-care practices during this time in the world when so many people are filled with grief, fear, disappointment, and heartbreak. 
 
Join us at this week’s Mango Publishing Author Panel to participate in a conversation about ways to uplift ourselves and to bring more joy and awe to others, as well. 
 
Our guest authors, Irene O’Garden (“Glad to Be Human”) and Allen Klein (“The Awe Factor”) will share their own stories and unique ways of living in joy and awe. Everyone who attends is invited to join the conversation if you wish. The panel is facilitated by Sherry Richert Belul (“Say it Now.”) 
 
Mango Author Panels are a great way to get a behind-the-scenes look at the publishing world and what goes on in authors’ heads. They are always interactive, often intriguing, and especially warm and inspiring.
