Join Better Said Than Done on September 3rd for Huzzah: a storytelling show celebrating 15 years of amazing stories. In the past 15 years, we've heard hundreds of incredible stories and hundreds of fabulous storytellers. We'd bring them all back on stage if we could, but for this one night, we're bringing back some of our favorites to help us celebrate. This show's nine storytellers and two emcees have appeared on PBS' Stories from the Stage, NPR's The Moth Radio Hour, the Risk! Podcast, at the Kennedy Center, in the National Storytelling Festival, and, of course, on Better Said Than Done stages. The stories may be personal, but you will experience them as if you were there. They may be true, despite being unbelievable. And as always, Better Said Than Done's storytelling show will prove that life is better in the telling.

True peace is not the absence of conflict, it is the presence of inner stability, wisdom, and compassion.
Today's
 world often feels polarized by conflict, uncertainty, division, and 
constant noise. Amid differing opinions, rapid change, and increasing 
stress, many people long for a deeper sense of peace that isn't 
dependent on external circumstances.
This
 workshop explores how inner peace begins with our thoughts, awareness, 
and daily choices. Through mindfulness, meditation, reflection, and 
practical tools for responding rather than reacting, participants will 
discover how cultivating peace within themselves positively influences 
their families, workplaces, and communities.
True peace is not the absence of conflict, it is the presence of inner stability, wisdom, and compassion.
Participants will leave with:
<ul><li>Greater inner calm regardless of external circumstances</li><li>Practical techniques for reducing stress and emotional reactivity</li><li>Increased compassion, patience, and understanding</li><li>A personal roadmap for becoming a source of peace and positive influence in the world</li></ul>
Whether
 you're seeking greater peace, stronger relationships, renewed purpose, 
or simply a healthier way to navigate life's challenges, this workshop 
offers practical tools and timeless wisdom to help you live with greater
 clarity, resilience, and joy.
Sister Dr. Jenna&nbsp;is
 a spiritual mentor, author, radio and TV personality, and speaker. She 
is the director of the Washington DC Branch of the Brahma Kumaris and 
founder of the Brahma Kumaris Meditation Museums in Maryland and 
Chantilly, VA. She has been featured on magazine covers, appeared on The
 Real Housewives of Atlanta, and was honored with the Presidential 
Lifetime Achievement Award for National Community Service. She also

 2024 Olympics.
