Practice You: Journaling & Reflection with Elena Brower
Overview
Join master teacher, author, and longtime Glo teacher Elena Brower for a special live evening of journaling, reflection, and self-inquiry inspired by her bestselling book Practice You and Glo’s Practice You program. Elena will guide our community through an interactive practice of contemplation and creative prompts designed to encourage self-reflection, spark new insights, and help you explore what is present for you right now. Everyone is welcome—whether you’ve completed the Practice You program, are just discovering Elena’s work, or simply want to explore journaling as a practice. Bring a journal, notebook, or sketch pad and something to write or draw with, and come ready to participate in whatever way feels natural to you. The evening will conclude with time for live Q&A and conversation with Elena.
