Saturday, May 2nd 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM Chalet at Bertram 9842 Briarwood Ave NE - Monticello, MN 55362, USA Join us for a day centered on hope, renewal, and the visibility of healing - a reminder that even after the hardest seasons, growth is possible. Hope in Bloom is intentionally designed as a welcoming, low-pressure space to notice growth, reconnect with hope, and allow healing to be seen and felt. Spring is a natural reminder that change is happening, even when we can’t always see it right away. This day is an opportunity to pause and gently recognize the ways healing and change may already be unfolding in your life. Throughout the day, you’ll have the option to engage in simple activities, connect with others, or spend quiet time reflecting. Whether you participate fully or just take a moment to breathe in a supportive space, you belong here. 🍽 Lunch will be on your own, allowing a midday refresh and recharge. At Hope in a Hopeless World, we believe healing happens through connection, presence, and belonging. Hope in Bloom is a chance to experience that in a real and meaningful way. This event is open to any adult interested in attending. Register here: Hope in Bloom: Spring Wellness Day You don’t need to have anything figured out. You don’t have to carry it all alone. You’re welcome here, wherever you are. 🌿
