A series of free interactive conversations designed to connect with others and explore new perspectives, use concrete tools to be healthier and happier in daily life, feel more at ease with yourself, others, and the world, and to work toward a more unified humanity.

September 5th and 19th, 2024. And October 3rd and 24th. The event will be held at the MCC Conference Center (A211-215) from 7:00 - 9:00 PM. Participants are welcome to come for any or all sessions.

Sara Foszcz and Holly Emrich-Glover, both residents of McHenry County and longstanding stewards of their community are your hosts. For more information on the hosts, please click here.

We are “regular” people coming from very different walks of life. We were successful in our careers, and yet we often felt worn out or that “something” was missing. We would find ourselves struggling with the challenges and injustices of life. That was – until we found our way to perspectives and tools that radically changed our lives. It’s our hope to share these ideas with you – to make your life easier, healthier and happier – and ultimately – help shift humanity to a more united and loving way of being. Much of our experience has been a deep dive into our own lives, our personal experiences, along with learning from others that have done the same. Much of this discussion will be a blending of the world of science and spirituality with a focus on how to make it real in our every-day lives. We hope this invite reaches people from all walks of life that are also asking, "is this the best we can do? Isn’t there something more?" We are sharing our experiences with the hope that at least one more life can become easier and happier.

We are not affiliated with McHenry County College, any organized faith, or organized religion. We are not “selling” anything. We simply want to share our lived experiences and have an open-dialogue.

If your life is flowing with ease, you’re healthy, vibrant, inspired and are able to perceive solutions with ease – please come and add your beautiful energy to our group. If you’re not experiencing that – please come and join us for a conversation that has the ability to make that possible – for you too! If you’re confused, frustrated, angry, sad or simply worn out by life – please join us to learn about tools and perspectives that can help shift those feelings into ones that are lighter and more hopeful.

The early part of each evening, we will share our personal journeys & perspectives. We will introduce the tools we’ve come across – simple things that have the possibility of radically shifting the way you experience life.

The second half will be interactive Q & A – where together we will help shift your “problems” into solutions. We will set the stage for a safe environment and expect to have you leave feeling more hopeful and a bit more peaceful – and curious.

While this work is simple – simple doesn’t always equate to easy. Please come knowing your mind might be challenged to concepts and be ready to do your own exploration of developing a new you.

Our goal is that you will leave feeling more hopeful, more curious and more connected to others than when you arrived. We hope you leave feeling a sense of ownership and a new awareness of how to create your life vs. react to it. We will provide you with resources that provide hope on a regular basis. Our greatest hope – is that you feel a sense of unconditional love…

We may bring in other community people (from both leadership positions to “everyday folks”) that have also found tools that have led them to an easier way of interpreting all that is happening in our world today.

We expect you to come curious, with an open mind and open heart. We expect you to come with questions – and without a personal agenda. We expect you to honor each other’s perspectives.

While part of this evening will be interactive – we ask that you respect everyone’s time. There will be a time limit for individual questions and comments – so everyone has a chance to participate. No one is required to speak or share. We expect you to honor MCC and the space we will share. We expect you to feel safe and to provide that for others.
