SUMMARY:Well Said Speaker Series: The Dance of Hope - An Evening with Maria Broom
CATEGORIES:event
DESCRIPTION:Well for the Journey is thrilled to announce that Maria Broom, Baltimore’s own award-winning artist, joy-bringer, teacher, dancer, actor, storyteller, and author of “The Village Bully” will be the speaker for our Spring 2023 Well Said Speaker Series fundaiser. The event will take place on Thursday, April 20 from 6-9 pm ET at Grace United Methodist Church in Baltimore (corner of Charles Street and Northern Parkway.) Maria will be with us for an in-person evening event filled with hope in support of the mission-based work of Well for the Journey. We invite you to join us in experiencing “The Dance of Hope: An Evening with Maria Broom.” Do you ever think about hope? Like…really think about it? Do you think of yourself as hopeful? Do you ever doubt that good things will come to you, or that things will get better across this country or the world? Author and Life Coach Michael Neill said, “There is never a good reason not to hope!” And, Baltimore’s own Maria Broom heartedly agrees. The much-loved dancer, storyteller, and actress widely known for her roles in HBO’s The Wire and The Corner believes that being hopeful is like a dance we each do every day as we try to keep our spirits up, endure, and make sense of these unpredictable intense times. Join us on April 20 for an intimate and entertaining evening that may turn any doubtful skepticism into a healthy, realistic optimism, introducing us to the metaphysical idea that our thoughts and our words are much more effective and powerful than we realize. We invite you to The Dance of Hope… where you’ll leave with a more hopeful heart and spirit (and very likely, some hopeful dance moves) to carry out into the world. The Well Said Speaker Series is a fundraiser to support the mission-based work of Well for the Journey. DATE: Thursday, April 20, 2023; Meet and Greet Reception begins at 6:00 pm. All ticket holders are welcomed and encouraged to attend. Please join us when you are able. Main program will begin at 7:30 pm.
