Brave Talks May 2024 (SOLD OUT)
Brave Talks is back - May 30th. Join us as we once again hold a safe space to spotlight the importance of mental health, challenge stereotypes and help break the cycle of shame that can all too often be associated with mental health.
Three powerful speakers will take the stage to share their stories - the challenges, the complexities, the resilience and ultimately the capacity to grow from those experiences that make us human. Their willingnes to step into their vulnerability and for you to bear witness, will undoubtedly leave you feeling empowered and moved by the healing that can come from hearing one another.
Our stories are varied, our experiences are unique but our capacity to hear and learn from one another is always universal. In our current context, there is no better time for our community to come together and step into these brave conversations.
Don't miss out, book your tickets today.

Nicole Sokol
When Nicole was 7 years old, she lost her father to pancreatic cancer. This was the catalyst for a series of new traumas throughout her formative years. In an effort to cope with her experiences and the ensuing insecurity, Nicole found herself turning to destructive behaviours, eating disorders and abusive relationships. But how do you cope when the dust never seems to settle? Join us at Brave Talks, as Nicole shares her story of self-discovery and healing.
Galit Gershowitz
As a mother of six children and woman of faith, Galit has faced battles from which she thought she would never recover. Times when everything was falling apart, and no one knew. Through it, she has found the strength and courage to keep going. The resilience to make it through. Now, as she grapples with the reality of her son in Gaza, a combat soldier at just 18, she must find this strength again. In taking the stage at Brave Talks, Galit shares how recovery is possible. Your community and friends will show up, you just need to let them in.
