Imagine you are driving down a road so familiar that its twists and turns have become habitual. Now imagine a sudden and drastic diversion to the path, followed by another, then another. Dr. Caroline Adelman’s talk, “Navigating in Darkness: Stories of Resilience” will teach us all how to keep our hands on the wheel and navigate our way through our current disorientation. With her guidance, we can re-frame the narrative of our life, finding not only much needed control, but also unexpected joy.
