Allison Byxbe
Speaker | Author | Former Professor Turned Certified Journal Facilitator

Has shame tried to convince you that the whole story is written, that there’s nothing more to see or learn and you’re just stuck in the same old weary, worn-out story? Are you ready to embrace the reality that no matter what our pasts hold, our stories are always teeming with possibility and new lines of grace?

Join former English professor turned journaling guide Allison Byxbe to explore through journaling how two things can simultaneously be true. We’ve messed up and God loves us. We’ve broken trust and God does not condemn us. We’ve gotten it wrong and God’s still writing a better story through your life.

If you feel like mentally or emotionally you’ve been stuck in a rut, come experience the life-giving power of taking pen to page through guided journaling! (No prior journaling experience required!)

Anne Miller
Personal Trainer/Yoga Instructor

Collective Canvas is a unique mindfulness experience that blends gentle yoga poses using a chair, mindful breathing, and collaborative painting. Through guided movement and moments of quiet reflection, you’ll return to yourself before adding your own colors and expression to a shared canvas. As each painting rotates around the table, you’ll thoughtfully and respectfully build upon the work of others, discovering the beauty of trust, creativity, and connection. No yoga or artistic experience is needed—only a willingness to be present, explore, and contribute to something greater than yourself.

Collective Canvas because it reflects what this experience truly is: each participant has their own creative expression of their individual selves, yet together they create something no one person could have made alone—a beautiful metaphor for community, mindfulness, and the interconnectedness we cultivate in life.

Dr. Beth Renwick
Board-Certified Emergency Physician

What you do today shapes how well you feel, move, think, and function in the years ahead.

Beyond the Basic Panel: 7 Tests That May Reveal Hidden Health Risks

In this more advanced session, Dr. Beth will explain seven often-overlooked tests that can provide deeper insight into metabolic health, cardiovascular risk, fitness, body composition, and neurodegenerative risk.

Dr. Nita Thapa
Board-Certified OB/GYN & NAMS- Certified Menopause Practitioner

Midlife isn’t a single event — it’s a shift across every part of a woman’s health: hormones, sleep, mood, metabolism, bone and heart health, relationships, and how you feel in your own body day to day. Too often, women are handed a single prescription or told to wait it out, without ever getting the full picture of what’s changing and why.

In this workshop, Dr. Nita Thapa, who has spent 16 years caring for the women of Midland, walks through perimenopause and menopause not as a problem to fix, but as a life stage to understand and navigate well. She’ll cover what’s actually happening in the body, how it connects to your overall health and wellness, and the range of options — medical, lifestyle, and everything in between — available at this stage of life. This is a holistic, whole-woman conversation, not just a hot-flash talk.

You’ll leave with a clearer sense of your own body, practical next steps, and the confidence to advocate for the care you deserve — plus a live Q&A to get your specific questions answered.
