The National Reconciliation Week (NRW) advances the concept that leading a healthy centered, balanced life requires being in touch with our emotions and understanding the effect they may have on our physical, mental and spiritual health. The process of connecting to the internal to enhance the external is what we call “reconciliation,” and can be implemented by an individual, an entire family, persons within a family or a community.
It’s important to note that reconciliation is a journey–not a destination—requiring a deliberate and purposeful effort to yield positive empowering results.
The National Reconciliation Week 2021 includes panel discussions, interviews with experts in the field, workshops, training sessions and tips featured in a customized tool kit. Confirmed speakers include USA TODAY writing and health expert Jayne O’Donnell, relationship coach Paul Bashea Williams, nonprofit executive Ana Acevedo, author and fatherhood expert Darryl Green, Certified Authentic Lifestyle Design coach and founder of Leap, Learn Live Stacey Clark, co-parenting guru Michael Smothers, self-help expert and founder of Young Parent Elevation Network Jennifer Okosun and certified life coach and women’s fatherhood pioneer Jonetta Rose Barras.
