Featured workshop
Every Star Needs a Circle
A signature workshop for children and young adults. Each session is built around four pillars and tailored to your group's ages, setting, and schedule.
Circle
Map the people in your support circle and learn how to lean on them.
Notice
Spot the warning signs in yourself and a friend, and know how to respond.
Shine
Share a talent or passion. Confidence rises when others see you.
Serve
Build care kits and small acts of service for families in hard seasons.
Made for the room
Practical tools, in a warm room.
Each session pairs hands-on practice (how to ask for help, how to notice a friend struggling) with celebration (talents, passions, service). The flow is consistent; the tone is shaped by the audience.
Host one
Bring a workshop to your school or group.
Schools, scout troops, faith communities, and parent groups can request a session tailored to their audience. We travel across Nevada and consider travel elsewhere for the right fit.
