The Compassionate Conversation Series With Catherine Thomas

The Power of Play

Many people experience a heightened level of stress in November. Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and holiday to-do lists grow longer daily. This year, the contentious presidential further compounds the sense of overwhelm.

Today, we will take a *time out* from the seriousness of this season to recharge our minds and hearts by focusing on the power of play.

Julie Olson, creator of the popular Facebook Page Mommy Plays Playmobil, will share her incredible wit and inspirational story about how she utilizes the pleasure of play to navigate challenging seasons.

CPL Youth Services Assistant Kim Hoppe will share her beautiful perspective on how viewing life through a child's perspective, being rooted in the present, and observing from a place of curiosity creates more contentment in our lives.

About The Compassionate Conversation Series:

In a world constantly inundating us with information, much of it negative and overwhelming, creating a reflective space of reprieve is imperative for mental and emotional well-being. In this spirit, we are excited to announce a new program at the Cedarburg Public Library: The Compassionate Conversation Series (CCS) with Catherine Thomas.

The CCS, created and hosted by Catherine Thomas, author of Awakening the Vulnerable Heart and host of The Catherine Thomas Podcast, will be held at the Cedarburg Public Library on Saturdays throughout the year. In addition to being presented in front of a live audience, episodes will be taped and available for viewing on CPL's social media platforms.

Participants will have the opportunity to ponder the perspectives of dynamic speakers and engage with one another. The mission of the CCS is to create a community for those striving to evolve into their most authentic selves and reenter the world inspired to make a difference through small acts of kindness.

Catherine Thomas is the author of Awakening the Vulnerable Heart and also has a podcast called "The Catherine Thomas Podcast" that you can listen to on our CPL Radio YouTube page.
