Conversation about 9/11 and its aftermarh facilitated by Nancy Colasurdo, Writer and Professional Coach. In 2016 Nancy published a memoir titled Alive in the Sunshine outlining her journey from the terrorist events of 9/11, through the collective and individual grief and fear, and then on to meaningful changes and profound revelations around purpose and what matters. She was not the only one who did that. Those horrific events inspired so much change. We’d like to open up for discussion how we can do this now, what we might bring from that experience to our current divide, and simply express as we let ourselves feel and dwell on the impact of 25 years.
