- Our own life experience, our reflections upon it, our intuitive understanding and the promptings of our own conscience.

Topic: GETTING ALL ON THE SAME ROPE
Guest Speaker: TA Loeffler
Surviving big mountains and big challenges requires leaps of faith, heaps of humour, dashes of discipline, mountains of luck, and the ability to get all on the same rope. Harnessing the power of supporting each other enables us to rise again when life throws us curveballs or obstacles. While sharing stories from her climbs, Dr. TA Loeffler will highlight the importance of cooperation and compassion while living in close quarters on the side of a mountain or during a global pandemic.
