Date: Saturday, September 27, 2025
Time: 3:00 – 5:00 PM

About the Workshop
Living in a small community has many rewards—connection, trust, and shared belonging. But it can also present challenges when misunderstandings, conflicts, or harmful patterns affect relationships.
This workshop will explore:
• What helps us build stronger, healthier connections
• What hurts and creates barriers within a close-knit community
• Practical ways to communicate openly, resolve conflict, and support one another
Why It’s Important
Positive relationships are the foundation of a thriving community. By learning together, we can:
• Strengthen trust and collaboration
• Reduce tension and prevent conflict
• Create a safer, more welcoming environment for everyone
Whether you’re a community leader, volunteer, or member who wants to contribute to a healthier space, this workshop will give you tools and insights to make a difference.
