What is the secret to living a fulfilling life? We live in an imperfect world, and we are all imperfect creatures. So how, in the midst of distractions and everyday challenges, can we live as truly and authentically as possible? In this session we will be introduced to various individuals who, despite their flaws, figured out their own unique path to wellbeing. Ranging from inspirational to outrageous, these individuals are also considered “saints.” Drawing on her research and using artwork to help tell their stories, Jennifer Clark will introduce us to these fascinating people who, despite their own struggles, managed to live full, rich lives. In learning their stories and unlocking their secrets, we will actually learn more about ourselves and how we can live more creative, generous, and courageous lives, even in the face of difficulties. Jennifer Clark is the author of six books, including a children’s book, full-length poetry collections, and a memoir, Kissing the World Goodbye, which blends family stories with recipes and was named a top-selling book of 2022 by Unsolicited Press. Her latest poetry collection, Intercede: Saints for Concerning Occasions (forthcoming May 2025 by Unsolicited Press), pulls back the curtain to reveal the human side of sainthood, inviting readers to explore deeper truths. Jennifer has facilitated a variety of workshops in diverse settings for over 30 years.
