It is easy to feel powerless when circumstances change unexpectedly, other people’s choices affect your life, or the future feels uncertain. Over time, you may begin to believe that your peace and happiness depend on what happens around you.
This workshop will help you reconnect with the inner strength that stress, disappointment, and self-doubt may have caused you to forget. Through mindful awareness, intentional thinking, and conscious choices, you will learn how to move from reacting to life to responding with clarity and confidence.
You’ll leave with:
• Greater confidence and emotional independence
• Stronger resilience when facing challenges
• The ability to make choices from clarity rather than fear
• A renewed sense of personal power, direction, and purpose
You may not be able to control every circumstance, but you can reclaim the power to choose who you will be within it.

Shakespeare made over 2,300 references to love, lovers or beloved within the entire body of his work. Just as every play has a banquet scene, surely there are as many love scenes. Right? That’s what one would think. The truth is that actual love scenes as we think of them today are few and far between, which begs the question, what is The Bard’s relationship to love? And does his version of love truly stand the test of time?
Love’s the Thang! is a blend of Shakespearean love scenes paired with foundational Black music, spoken word, and poetry. It’s the ultimate Shakespearean love remix that tries to define the thing that even Shakespeare could never quite wrap his head around…love.
Featuring Music and Poetry by DJ Renegade, Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, Kai Davis, Mona Lake Jones, Maya Angelou, LL Cool J, and Etta James.Music arranged by Hurt City DJ’s.
