A Season of Change: Go Deeper While Keeping It Light with LaVonne Wells

A unique opportunity to explore the depths of who we are while maintaining a sense of lightness and joy. As we navigate a world that is constantly changing, this gathering will offer tools and insights to help us see, do, and be in ways that align with our true selves. Together, we will uncover how to walk through life with more ease, grace, and a renewed perspective while embracing the changes around us with open hearts. This evening is dedicated to my daughter Kiva, who would be celebrating her 25th birthday if she were still with us in physical form. About LaVonne Wells: LaVonne Wells is an award-winning global speaker and love activist. She assists people in processing the passing of a loved one. Her work has emerged because of the despair she experienced through the passing of her daughter Kiva. She provides a listening ear, open heart, and support in remembering…where there is LOVE, there is life! LaVonne shares that there is no death but a continual journey that takes on a new form. She brings awareness that there is more to our existence than the physical life we are experiencing. LaVonne offers life and grief support through her group sessions and annual retreats. Private one-on-one sessions are limited and available upon request. LaVonne Wells is an expert guest for Good Things Utah on ABC4 television. A global TEDx Talk presenter. She is a reoccurring speaker for Helping Parents Heal National Conventions and the International Associations for Near-Death Studies (IANDS).
