A Word from John Lee
Let’s take a look together at depression and despair, happiness and joy, faith and hope. Understanding the differences is life changing. Over the last few years of my own personal loss, examining these themes taught me to love in a way I never had before, a way based in loving people more than you need them. I’d like to share that with you.
I’m currently teaching this material (and much more) in workshops across the country, as well as in private sessions.
