FREE - The Bloom Wellbeing Webinar Series Autumn 2021

As a Wellbeing Fellow at Bloom, we discussed how best to address trauma within the context of supporting entrepreneurship and start-ups in Beirut one year after the blast. I curated a series of interactive online workshops with healing experts who are themselves based in Beirut and speaking from experience.  Attendance was free and each speaker also offered short video practices that are available in the Bloom Digital Library. Wellbeing was addressed from three lenses: self, society and nature.
