Self-Care

The last meeting of the year will be on taking care of ourselves so we can take care of others. Learn techniques of self-care to head into the Roundtable’s summer hiatus. Heather Heimerl Brunold, founder and Executive Director or Words to Action / TED X Pasadena will lead the group in some self-care exercises to practice over the summer. We will also discuss topics for 2019 – 2020 meetings. Register at https://PERTselfcare.eventbrite.com.

Heather Heimerl Brunold has been a thought leader in education, specializing in adolescent development and family/school dynamics for more than two decades. After completing her doctorate in education from the University of Southern California, Heather became passionate about utilizing her expertise outside the four walls of a classroom, and instead on behalf of the greater community. Seeing an opportunity to use the TED brand in support of the local good, Heather acquired the TEDxPasadena and TEDxPasadenaWomen licenses and has focused the brands as vehicles to positively influence our community’s approach to learning. This ultimately led her to establish Words2Action, a nonprofit organization that serves as the fiscal agent for our local TEDx efforts, but also whose mission is to transform the words we speak into tangible action by providing sponsorships for girls ages 13-18. Heather is by her nature a helper, healer and teacher. Her passion for learning and her love of relationship building are the reasons she enjoys serving our community.
