The July Lunch and Learn is on Tuesday, July 15, 2025.

Topic: Heroes, Helpers, and Heartbreakers, with Dr. Rev. Richard Held

Tapping the Wisdom of Our Earliest Selves
As a young boy, I spent the better part of a year imagining myself to be a cat. Through a later "life" as a cowboy and still another as a detective (all before the age of 10), these identities are often perceived by the adult world as nonsensical childhood fodder.

But what if such early personas are the very souls of us offering glimpses into those core values and central purposes which will inform our lives? Join Rev. Richard for this fun and interactive conversation!
