Writing From the Heart: A Little Prince Workshop for Grown Ups (1.5 hrs) 

What do you see when you look with the heart? Discover how the world of The Little Prince can become a map of our own inner worlds. Inspired by the therapeutic tools of Internal Family Systems, Toby invites us to listen with kindness to our inner cast of characters. Join him for this gentle and generative contemplation of compassion, creativity and wholeness. No experience necessary.

About The Little Prince 

Embark on a whimsical journey with The Little Prince as he wanders the universe in search of the true meaning of friendship. 

Enter a world of endless sunsets, where people are like flowers, and grown-ups are, well, pretty peculiar. They think serious things are silly and silly things are serious. They’ve forgotten how to look with the heart. 

Join us on a great adventure to make friends, learn things, and notice the most important things in life.
