After more than a decade of research at Harvard and work in 51 countries, Shawn Achor found that the greatest predictor of our future success is something else entirely: the set of beliefs we hold about the world around us. Beliefs are not passive. They shape what we notice, how we interpret setbacks, how much energy and persistence we bring to hard problems and whether we see a challenge as fixed or changeable. And because beliefs spread through teams the same way emotions do, a single person’s belief about what is possible can raise—or quietly cap—the ceiling for an entire organization. In his newest book, The Power of Beliefs, Shawn demonstrates that these beliefs are far more malleable than we…

A Peer-led gathering on Loss, Grief, & Belonging Paula Williams will hold the space for these peer-led gatherings. Paula is a long-time member of the Northland community having first come to the area in the late 90’s to live and work with the Loaves and Fishes community, then moving to a nearby farm in 2000 where she tried her hand as a flower farmer and hosted gatherings in the big red dairy barn. Motherhood settled her in to life in the country, until she moved back to Duluth in 2024. Paula has worked as a life coach for over 20 years, pivoting to therapy in May. She has been imagining this kind of monthly grief gathering for years and is grateful to Halcyon House for the opportunity to gather in its unique space. Free Event.
