The Wisdom and Worthiness of Messy Resilience
What would it take for your deepest wounds and ingrained survival patterns - your inner "mess" - to show up at a meeting, on a date, or in your parenting? How much sorrow or chaos could you bear before the other parts of you start to fade or shrink? Delena will share how her own devastating pain, messy resilience, and deviant compassion collide in the middle of passion and purpose, how cringe-worthy extra-ness makes room for healing and wisdom - and how relationships change everything.
