FLA's 2025 Wellness Workshop

I am just coming up for air after our amazing workshop – the first in person event since 2019!

To all the participants, the speakers, The Florida Bar, the event staff, our Board of Directors, and the staff at FLA for putting in the extraordinary effort it takes to make an event

special…..THANK YOU. There are no words to describe what a wonderful event it was. We

could not do it without the never-ending support we received from all of you. I can only say that with over 150 participants, it was, from my perspective, a resounding success.

Spirituality, resilience, personality styles, professionalism, meditation, addiction recovery, yoga, trauma, and the miracles of monitoring were all addressed through the presentations. The mutual aid support group at the end of the first night was powerful and filled with hope and recovery. The feedback from everyone was overwhelmingly positive. Of course, the beach as a backdrop, at least for me, was also spectacular. Not to mention the space launch on the first morning!

Feedback in any of life’s endeavors is essential to growth – both personal and professional.

Without it, we do not know what works and what could use some tweaking. So please do not

hesitate to share what you would like to include in next year’s workshop as topics of exploration, what worked for you and what did not, and general impressions of your experience. Please e- mail me directly at carol@fla-lap.org with thoughts and concerns.

For those of you who missed it, please go to our website (www.fla-lap.org) to listen to the

presentations.

Again, thank you and let’s make next year even better. I know I am looking forward to it.

Hopefully, you are also.
