Creative expression can give us a way to stay with an experience before asking it to become something else.
So, a small reflection for today:

What are you trying to solve that might first need to be heard?
You don’t have to have an answer.
Maybe just notice what comes up. 🌿

What does courage look like in everyday practice?
For Dr. Angela Lehr, courage isn’t about being fearless or having all the answers. It’s found in the quiet moments—choosing authenticity, setting healthy boundaries, and staying connected to what matters most.

In this short video, Angela shares what inspires her work and offers a glimpse into Connecting to the Courage Within, happening August 7.
We hope you’ll join us for this meaningful experience.

Meet the Facilitator: Dr. Angela

“Courage is a heart word.”
— Brené Brown, PhD

What if courage isn’t about having all the answers?
What if it’s choosing honesty, connection, and authenticity—even when they’re uncomfortable?

For more than 20 years, Dr. Angela has supported individuals, families, organizations, and communities through growth, change, and healing. Her work is grounded in a simple yet powerful belief:
Who we are is inseparable from how we lead, care, and serve others.
As a leadership consultant, educator, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, and Certified Dare to Lead™ Facilitator, she brings together reflective practice, human connection, and creativity to help others live and lead with greater courage.
We’re honored to welcome her as the facilitator of Connecting to the Courage Within.

✨ Join us on August 7 as we explore courage—not as perfection or performance—but as a daily practice.

Some creative practices stay with us long after the workshop ends.

A journal that becomes part of your morning.
A poem you return to when words are hard to find.
A collage that reminds you of something you didn’t know you needed.

Creativity has a way of continuing the conversation long after we’ve put our materials away.

Sometimes, the smallest creative ritual becomes the one that helps us pause, reconnect, and move forward with a little more clarity.

What creative practice has stayed with you?

We’d love to hear your story in the comments. 🌿

Conflict Is Inevitable. Connection Is a Practice.
As helping professionals, many of the conversations we navigate are not easy.
Whether we’re supporting clients, collaborating with colleagues, or engaging with our communities, moments of disagreement and discomfort are inevitable.
The question isn’t whether conflict will happen.
It’s how we choose to meet it.

At NWCEAI, we believe learning isn’t only about gaining new techniques—it is also about developing the capacity to stay present, curious, and connected, especially when conversations become difficult.

These are the kinds of questions we’ll be exploring in Embodied Movement and Enactment of Calling In with Dr. Leticia Nieto.
Because meaningful change begins not only with what we say, but with how we relate to one another.
