Your civic voice isn’t just how you vote or volunteer—it’s how you live your values out loud. In this workshop, participants learn to reconnect with what matters most: clarity, courage, and connection. Through reflection and dialogue, Sophia guides you to uncover your values, confront what holds you back, and develop practical tools to speak up and lead with purpose—in your community, workplace, and everyday life.

Light snacks and beverages will be provided.
