EHNW’s December Lunch and Learn

What if the most important moments in therapy are the ones that never make it into the notes?

In this Lunch and Learn, Justin invites attendees to slow down and rediscover the ethical and transformative power of everyday moments that matter. Together, participants will explore how existential love, understood not as emotion but as a way of being with, calls us into deeper responsibility, presence, and care.
