Class 2303
“How We Go On” Book Signing Event with Dr. Ken Druck

Every moment, hour, day, week, month, and season of our lives will serve up a loss, change, challenge, or opportunity where we find ourselves asking:

What Now?

Whether you’re trying to go on after the loss of a loved one, a divorce, a health crisis, a problem with one of your kids, or an issue of aging, like retirement, having a trusted confidant and companion for these “What now?” moments can make all the difference. Dr. Ken Druck’s Oasis workshop and his new book, How We Go On: Self-Compassion, Courage, and Gratitude on the Path Forward are such a companion.

Join us at San Diego Oasis at Rancho Bernardo for this special gathering with Dr. Druck as he shares his insights on these important themes that we will all face at some point in our lives. The event will take place in our beautiful new Torrey Pine room at our Rancho Bernardo location. Although the event is free, we ask that you RSVP so we can plan accordingly.
