 HillelWell Wednesdays

We offer a weekly space to come relax, unplug and connect face to face with peers. We offer a guided discussion focusing on one concept each week to unpack our internal selves. This group is a confidential and safe place to remove your masks of the everyday and share with peers how you are truly feeling. This program is designed to help you with TOOLS to living life and ideas of how to restart and refresh your day and week.
