“Our emotional hearts have a memory, woven from millions of moments, into a tapestry that tells the story of our lives. Every emotion, experience, and moment of connection imprints itself on our heart. Threads of love, joy, grief, and growth intertwine, creating a rich and vibrant pattern, uniquely and unmistakably ours. These stored emotional memories in turn impact the health and function of our beating heart, with the potential to heal or harm us.” – Dr. Jonathan Fisher
This September’s Wisdom event, “Just One Heart. The Stories of Mental Resilience and Wellbeing,” is specially created to inspire students, parents, educators and our learning community to have a shared focus and curiosity to “repair our collective heart and create a world where all individuals thrive in physical, emotional, spiritual, and social well-being.”
