February 11th, 2025 - From Conflict to Connection: The Realities of Sibling Relationships with Roberta Grant, LMHC, family somatic therapist and founder of Flux Therapy in White Salmon
Sibling relationships can be full of challenges, but they don’t have to be. How can we guide our children through sibling rivalry, nurture deeper connections, and create a harmonious family dynamic?
Drawing from evidence-based research, years of experience as a therapist, and personal insights as the oldest of four siblings, Roberta will explore how personality, birth order, and family culture influence sibling relationships. Participants will engage in small group discussions and have opportunities to ask questions and share insights. You’ll leave with practical tools for fostering empathy, collaboration, and connection among siblings.
Join us to discover how small shifts can transform conflict into connection in your family.
March 11th, 2025 - Parenting Together, Apart, and In Between: Navigating Modern Family Dynamics with Kim Lubin, LCSW and Certified School Counselor
Parenting takes many forms—together as a couple, co-parenting after separation, parallel parenting, or navigating blended families. Each approach comes with unique challenges, but the shared goal is to create a sense of safety and consistency for our children, no matter the family structure.
This workshop will explore strategies to navigate modern family dynamics, offering practical insights and tools to strengthen relationships, manage conflict, and support children’s well-being across all situations.
Join us to learn how to parent with intention and collaboration, no matter your family’s shape or size.
April 8th, 2025 - Fueling Our Future: Food, Family, and Community with Andrea Bemis, local organic farmer, mother and author of Let Them Eat Dirt
What we eat affects more than just our bodies—it shapes our health, supports our community, and nurtures our children’s well-being. In this uplifting and informative workshop with local organic farmer and whole food advocate Andrea Bemis, we will explore the vital connection between food, family, and community.
Discover how the choices we make at mealtime can promote good health, reduce the risk of chronic conditions, and support local growers. With a thoughtful and compassionate approach, Andrea will offer practical insights into making fresh, whole foods a joyful and accessible part of your family’s life.
Together, let’s learn how to nourish our bodies and our communities for a brighter, healthier future.
