Join us for a special “Cocktail Napkin Sermon” event (a concept Chad Michael Hardy developed and is known for), during which he will provide an intimate overview of his “Law of Zero” philosophy, offering a concise yet powerful exploration of personal empowerment and authenticity. Afterward, he will stay for a Q&A and to sign books. About Law of Zero: Publisher Marketing A Zero Hero's Guide to Self-Acceptance and Personal Empowerment In this inspirational cross between self-help and memoir, Chad Michael Hardy chronicles his journey from a strict Mormon upbringing to self-acceptance and true authenticity. Facing a crisis of faith due to living inauthentically, Hardy developed the transformative law of Zero to get unstuck, find balance, and unlock infinite potential. Now, he reveals how you can do the same through five entry points: Seek Awareness, Secure Alignment, Take Ownership, Release to Receive, and Engage Power. Among the many powerful lessons he presents are - self-awareness is crucial for breaking free from victimhood and finding new perspectives on life, - releasing negative beliefs, stories, and judgments that limit your true self is essential for personal growth, and - taking ownership of your trauma and forgiving those who have caused harm cultivates self-love, empathy, renewal, and freedom from pain. Hardy shares his unfiltered story and the life-changing effects of the Law of Zero to guide anyone struggling with identity and societal expectations to embrace their authentic self, unleash their sacred power, and find lasting healing and happiness. About Chad Michael Hardy: Raised as a devout member of the LDS church, Chad made international headlines when he was excommunicated and stripped of his degree from BYU. Since his discovery of Zero, Chad has refocused the multitude of personal challenges throughout his life into helping others find their authentic joy and their True Self. His passion for people led him to cultivate a flourishing team-building business, Adventure Games, Inc. With advanced praise from Tony Award winner Julie Newmar and legendary sports executive David Meltzer, Law of Zero is a unique blend of memoir and self-help that chronicles his journey from his strict Mormon upbringing to embracing his authentic self as a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community. https://www.goldenbraidslc.com/events/law-of-zero

This is the second of a quarterly series where we will work with the Medicine Wheel, or Celtic Calendar, to understand behaviors in ourselves and others we encounter. We explore patterns in our lives and others' using these ancient festivals and the knowledge they contain. Typically, we will start with a talk and then explore this more in a Shamanic Drum Journey and share our experiences afterwards. At this time of Bealtaine, we celebrate the start of summer and ready ourselves to celebrate being; the joy of life, the tactile senses, our connection to the land and all around us. You don’t need to have attended the first event or have any experience in this work to attend. About Stephen Pitcher: Stephen has recently moved from Ireland where he studied Shamanic and Druidic practices with teachers from Mexico, Ireland, and the U.K. The Shamanic path is a nature-based Indigenous wisdom helping us to understand ourselves and rooted in compassion, simplicity, appreciation, and balance. Stephen works with individual clients and groups in healing sessions and also uses these teachings in corporate practices and coaching. He firmly believes all this work is meaningless unless it helps us as we pay the gas bill, earn a living, and nurture our relationships.
