Continue Reaching for Joy and Light

Life doesn’t always unfold the way we imagined. We all face challenges, such as loss, change, uncertainty, career transitions, caregiving, or simply seasons when life feels different than we expected.

In this interactive workshop, USA TODAY bestselling author and certified grief coach Kate Doerge shares the personal lessons and practical tools that helped her navigate profound loss and ultimately reimagine the traditional Five Stages of Grief into Five Actions that we can take to actively move through life’s hardest moments.

Through storytelling, movement, reflection, connection, and simple science-backed practices, Kate will help participants explore how we can build resilience, protect our energy, find purpose, and continue reaching for joy and light—even alongside difficult circumstances.

This workshop is inspired by the advice Kate’s father gave her throughout her life: “You don’t choose the cards you’re dealt. You choose how you play them.” We will learn to become empowered about choice: how we respond to what life puts in front of us and how we continue moving forward with greater strength, connection, and purpose.
