been described as “Healing\,” “Powerful\,” “Life-Changing\,” “Programs that bring peace to the world…” \nBut what actually happens at a FTC event? And how are these events having so much impact in-prison\, with volunteers\, and in the community at large? \nCome and experience this introductory Freedom to Choose event to find out! \nThis evening is open to all and will offer a firsthand experience of the work that we offer in-prison and in the community. We’ll be working with a selected tool/exercise in groups of three\, called ‘trios.’ \nYou’ll have the opportunity to reflect and gain insight into what’s present in your life\, and create space for others as they explore and share what’s surfacing for them. Trio work is very powerful and the primary format of our in-prison programs. \nWe also welcome our seasoned volunteers to this evening. Come and experience the depth and beauty of this community. We are so grateful for your support\, wisdom\, and your service as an anchor for these trios. This evening is a great opportunity to share FTC and the trio experience with your friends and families. \nWe look forward to coming together digitally as a community to continue our commitment to healing and growing both as individuals and collectively. \nWe’ll see you there! \nDate: Thursday\, April 4\, 2024Time: 6:30pm – 8:30pm PTTuition: None. Free!Prerequisites: None. This event is open to all.Registration: Required. Viewing Instructions will be sent upon registration. \n  \nREGISTRATION\n \n[/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”http://weblink.donorperfect.com/Trio_Adv” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”REGISTER

(PT)\nRegister Now!\nOnline via Zoom\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Freedom to Choose Project (FTC) has been providing programs that have been described as “Healing\,” “Powerful\,” “Life-Changing\,” “Programs that bring peace to the world…” \nBut what actually happens at a Freedom to Choose Intro Event? And how are these events having so much impact in-prison\, with volunteers\, and in the community at large? \nCome and experience this introductory Freedom to Choose event to find out! \nThis evening is open to all and will offer a firsthand experience of the work that we offer in-prison and in the community. We’ll be working with a selected tool/exercise in groups of three\, called ‘trios.’ \nYou’ll have the opportunity to reflect and gain insight into what’s present in your life\, and create space for others as they explore and share what’s surfacing for them. Trio work is very powerful and the primary format of our in-prison programs. \nWe also welcome our seasoned volunteers to this evening. Come and experience the depth and beauty of this community.

2024\n6:30pm-8:30pm (PT)\nRegister Now!\nOnline via Zoom\nThe Freedom to Choose Project (FTC) has been providing programs that have been described as “Healing\,” “Powerful\,” “Life-Changing\,” “Programs that bring peace to the world…” \nBut what actually happens at a Freedom to Choose Event? And how are these events having so much impact in-prison\, with volunteers\, and in the community at large? \nCome and experience this introductory Freedom to Choose event to find out! \nThis evening is open to all and will offer a firsthand experience of the work that we offer in-prison and in the community. We’ll be working with a selected tool/exercise in groups of three\, called ‘trios.’ \nYou’ll have the opportunity to reflect and gain insight into what’s present in your life\, and create space for others as they explore and share what’s surfacing for them. Trio work is very powerful and the primary format of our in-prison programs. \nWe also welcome our seasoned volunteers to this evening. Come and experience the depth and beauty of this community. We are so grateful for your support\, wisdom\, and your service as an anchor for these trios. This evening is a great opportunity to share FTC and the trio experience with your friends and families. \nWe look forward to coming together digitally as a community to continue our commitment to healing and growing both as individuals and collectively. \nWe’ll see you there! \nDate: Thursday\, September 19\, 2024\nTime: 6:30pm – 8:30pm PT\nTuition: None.

We’ll be working with a selected tool/exercise in groups of three\, called ‘trios.’ \nYou’ll have the opportunity to reflect and gain insight into what’s present in your life\, and create space for others as they explore and share what’s surfacing for them. Trio work is very powerful and the primary format of our in-prison programs. \nWe also welcome our seasoned volunteers to this evening. Come and experience the depth and beauty of this community. We are so grateful for your support\, wisdom\, and your service as an anchor for these trios. This evening is a great opportunity to share FTC and the trio experience with your friends and families. \nWe look forward to coming together digitally as a community to continue our commitment to healing and growing both as individuals and collectively. \nWe’ll see you there! \nDate: Thursday\, October 17\, 2024\nTime: 6:30pm – 8:30pm PT\nTuition: None.

Trio work is very powerful and the primary format of our in-prison programs. \nWe also welcome our seasoned volunteers to this evening. Come and experience the depth and beauty of this community. We are so grateful for your support\, wisdom\, and your service as an anchor for these trios. This evening is a great opportunity to share FTC and the trio experience with your friends and families. \nWe look forward to coming together digitally as a community to continue our commitment to healing and growing both as individuals and collectively. \nWe’ll see you there! \nDate: Thursday\, May 8\, 2025\nTime: 6:30pm – 8:30pm PT\nTuition: None.

Bonnie and David Paul to create a program that evolved into what is now FTC. \n\n\n\n\n\n  \nTwenty-one years later\, with thousands of lives touched\, we continue to be grateful for Ron’s mentorship in the early days of FTC and the lasting legacy of his generosity of heart and spirit. \nA LIVE Q&A will follow this uplifting video feature: \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDrs. Bonnie and David Paul (FTC Founders)\nRhonda Leland (FTC Education and Project Coordinator)\nKirk Souder (FTC Volunteer and USM Grad)\nEddie Torres (FTC Education and Project Coordinator)\nHost: Michael Lattimore (FTC Board Member and FTC Facilitator)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin the conversation and explore: \n\nHow we sometimes silence ourselves before giving our ideas a chance\nLearn to identify the true voice of your inner wisdom\nHow to recognize the unique value of our contribution\, regardless of its scale\nThe surprising power of a single courageous voice in a noisy world\nThe healing power of listening with an open heart\n\nCan’t attend live?

We’ll be working with selected tools and doing an exercise in groups of three called “trios.” \nYou’ll have the opportunity to reflect and gain insight into what’s present in your life\, and create space for others as they explore and share what’s surfacing for them. “Trio work” is very powerful and the primary format of our in-prison programs. \nWe encourage our seasoned volunteers to attend this evening. We are so grateful for their support\, wisdom\, and service as an anchor for these trios. This evening is a great opportunity to share FTC and the trio experience with your friends and families. \nWe look forward to coming together virtually as a community to continue our commitment to healing and growing both as individuals and collectively. \nWe’ll see you there! \nDate: Thursday\, July 17\, 2025\nTime: 6:30pm – 8:30pm PT\nTuition: None. Free!\nPrerequisites: None. This event is open to all.\nRegistration: Required. Viewing Instructions will be sent upon registration. \n\n\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” top_padding=”66″ bottom_padding=”66″ text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all” el_id=”register”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/6″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-4-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”small_depth” column_border_radius=”20px” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”2/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”1px” column_border_color=”#6a3179″ column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][nectar_highlighted_text color_type=”regular” text_color=”#6a3179″ style=”full_text” highlight_expansion=”default” text_direction=”default”]\nREGISTRATION\n[/nectar_highlighted_text][divider line_type=”Small Line” line_alignment=”center” line_thickness=”2″ divider_color=”extra-color-1″ custom_height=”20″ custom_line_width=”50″]This event has passed and registration has ended.
