Rooted & Rising: A Walk & Talk for Growth and Resilience

In 2025, our theme is Bloom Where You Are Planted: Thriving in Your Current Circumstance! This means finding happiness and growth in your current situation, even if it's difficult. It's about making the best of where you are right now.

This year, we'll focus on embracing where you are in life and recognizing that the present moment holds the potential for growth and transformation.

We’ll explore how to:

• Shift Your Mindset: View challenges as opportunities, knowing you have the resilience to thrive.
• Activate Your Strengths: Realize that you have all the tools you need to succeed, right where you are.
• Uncover Deeper Meaning: Discover lessons and meaning that aid growth, even in tough times.

The Topic for February is: Rooted & Rising: A Walk & Talk for Growth and Resilience

Life’s challenges can feel like rocky soil, but even in tough times, we have the power to stay rooted and grow.

In this walk & talk, you’ll reflect on past challenges and the resilience that carried you through. You’ll celebrate the small victories that show how you’re blooming, even in ways you didn’t expect. And you’ll set intentions to plant new seeds for your future growth.

Through guided reflection and shared wisdom, you’ll walk away feeling grounded, inspired, and ready to thrive—right where you are.

While walking and talking, we’ll delve into these questions:

1. Share about a tough time in your life. How did you stay rooted and keep growing despite the challenges?
2. Share about a recent small victory that shows how you’re blooming, even in ways you didn’t expect.
3. What intentions or goals do you want to set today that will help you bloom in the future?

Here’s the plan for our walk & talk:

• Meet by the adult swings in Campbell Park (info on parking in Campbell)
• Walk & Talk along the Los Gatos Creek Trail (about 2 miles)
• Participate in Sharing Circles
• Take a group photo

After the walk & talk, I'm walking to Orchard Valley Coffee in downtown Campbell - I'd love for you to join me!

**If rain is in the forecast during our walk & talk, I'll update the event to take place on Zoom**

Look forward to seeing you there!

Joyfully,
Shannon
