University of Maryland, Baltimore Professional Administratives Committed to Excellence (UMBPACE) will host “Blooming in the Dark: How to Transform Through Adversity” with Michelle Pearce, PhD, professor, University of Maryland Graduate School, at noon Tuesday, June 29.
In times of adversity, many of us hope to be resilient and "bounce back" to normal. However, what if you could use these challenging life experiences to grow and emerge even better than you were before the adversity began? Just as some flowers require the dark to bloom, there are some people who do their best growing and becoming during dark and challenging times. Pearce, a clinical psychologist, calls these individuals “Night Bloomers.” In this experiential and interactive workshop, based on her recent book, “Night Bloomers: 12 Principles for Thriving in Adversity,” Pearce will provide practical tools and wisdom for transforming and thriving in adversity and loss. There will be an opportunity to practice blooming in the dark journaling prompts, followed by a Q&A. No writing experience necessary.
A virtual link will be sent to each participant.
We will raffle off 20 copies of Dr. Pearce’s book and much more.
