Different Minds, Different Futures
Helping Neurodivergent Young Adults Build Lives of Purpose
Six workshops helping neurodivergent young adults understand themselves, discover their strengths, and build lives of possibility.
Different Minds, Different Futures is a six-workshop series helping young adults and the people who care about them see neurodivergence not as a limitation but as a different way of being fully human.
Together we'll explore identity, work, relationships, purpose, and the practical supports that allow different minds to flourish.
Attend a single workshop, or join us over time as each session builds toward a larger vision of a vibrant unmasked life.
Cohorts are offered in-person and online.
Each session costs $125 per person.
Group and institutional rates are available.
