Get a taste for what coaching can do for your life via this short series of three workshops:

Her work focuses on self-love, awareness, acceptance, and care as the foundation for living the life one desires. This workshop series is focused on ownership--looking at your responsibility and ownership of time/priorities, health/well being, and energy.
We will interact in a cozy intimate setting to empower each other in taking ownership of our lives…Owning Your Glitter. Each session will have a specific topic and while attendance to all 3 is not mandatory, there will be overlap in all 3. There will be games and prizes in each session and light refreshments will be provided. Join us for blazing fun in Owning Your Glitter!

Sara is generously offering her services as a professional coach for this introductory series on a donation-basis. RSVP to Adult Program Coordinator Serena Olsen at solsen@lighthouse-sf.org or 415-694-7316, and support Sara's work by making a contribution via PayPal or Apple Pay using sarasellen79@gmail.com, and please include "LH Series" in the notes section of your contribution.
