Explore the timeless inner shift that makes real happiness possible, even when life feels uncertain, painful, or completely undone.
What if the moment everything falls apart is not the end of your story, but the beginning of your becoming?
Join us for a powerful and restorative workshop exploring the timeless inner shift that makes real happiness possible, even when life feels uncertain, painful, or completely undone. Together, we will look beyond surface-level positivity and discover the deeper sources of joy, peace, and resilience that do not depend on outer circumstances.
Special guest Elizabeth Carson will share what happens after the collapse: when the marriage, the money, the brand, or the version of yourself you spent years building falls away, and the only place left to rebuild from is within.
Drawing from her own personal crashes across childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, and beyond, Elisabeth blends story, neuroscience, and lived practice to reveal why we often repeat the same patterns in different forms, and how we can finally begin to change them.
You will be guided through a practical four-phase roadmap for rebuilding from the inside out: Regulate. Reflect. Reprogram. Embody.
You will leave not with a pep talk, but with a real protocol for returning to yourself, and the powerful reminder that you were never broken. You were only becoming.
<a href="https://www.elisabethunlimited.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Elisabeth Carson</a>
teaches from a deep understanding of what it takes to rebuild a life from the inside out. After overcoming addiction, profound personal challenges, major successes, and significant setbacks, she turned her journey into a powerful path of healing, reinvention, and service.
Today, Elisabeth is an international speaker, trauma-informed transformational coach, spiritual teacher, podcaster, bestselling author, and entrepreneur with more than a decade of experience helping others heal, evolve, and create lasting change. Her work integrates neuroscience, somatic healing, subconscious reprogramming, brain health, spiritual awakening, and a deeply rooted connection to God.
Her diverse career has included work as a Hollywood model and actress, pastry chef, record-breaking real estate agent, president of a mental health facility, COO of a global brand, and three-time bestselling author.
Through Elisabeth Unlimited and her nonprofit, The Unlimited Life, she supports people in breaking old cycles, reclaiming their power, and stepping fully into the next chapter of their lives.
Saturday, July 18th, 1:00pm - 2:30pm. Brahma Kumaris Meditation Museum - Maryland ,&nbsp;9525 Georgia Ave, Silver Spring, MD.

University of the District of Columbia

What happens when Japanese funeral etiquette meets American chaos? Find out in How To Die In Japan, a solo dark comedy making its East Coast debut at the District Fringe Festival this July.
Performer Miyo Yamauchi, a Moth StorySLAM Champion born and raised in Japan, guides audiences through the rigid rules of TPO — Time, Place, and Occasion — as she navigates loss from the collision point of two cultures with very different ideas about how to grieve. It's a show that's funnier than it sounds and more moving than you'd expect, blending original score, animation, and 70 minutes of sharp, personal storytelling.
The production features composer Michael D. Mortilla (Sony/Columbia Pictures, the Olympics), Gold Telly Award-winning visual designer Anthony Phills, lighting by Willow McFatter, and direction by Jane Morris (Second City, Brooklyn Nine-Nine). The Los Angeles premiere sold out in 36 hours.
Performances: 
6:00pm Sunday, July 12 
7:45pm Saturday, July 18 
6:15pm Sunday, July 19 
5:45pm &amp; 8:15pm Friday, July 24 
5:45pm Saturday, July 25
Where: University of the District of Columbia, Building 46W, 4200 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC 20008
