Leading Your Life’s Three-Ring Circus
ONLINE Thursday, October 1, 8, 15, 22, 2026
7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Step into the role of ringmaster and organize your work, relationships, and personal wellness in a more intentional and productive way. Join Jones Loflin who delivers powerful ideas and practical solutions to individuals so they can achieve more of what is most important to them, for a powerfully practical series where you’ll learn to use the framework of a circus to better identify what’s overloading you, what to do about it, and how to help others manage this struggle of too much to do.
Early Literacy Lessons from THE Neighborhood
IN PERSON Saturday, October 24
8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
This full-day workshop explores how Fred Rogers’ six fundamentals—self-worth, trust, curiosity, the capacity to look and listen, play, and solitude—serve as the essential "anchors" for early literacy. By focusing on these simple yet deep human needs, educators will gain practical strategies to nurture lifelong learners through play, the "real work" of childhood.
Join us to discover how great literature can reinforce a child’s sense of self-worth, spark their wonder, and encourage the capacity to look and listen carefully.
