The National Reconciliation Week (NRW) advances the concept that leading a healthy centered, balanced life requires being in touch with our emotions and understanding the effect they may  have on our physical, mental and spiritual health. The process of connecting to the internal to enhance the external is what we call “reconciliation,” and can be implemented by an individual, an entire family, persons within a family or a community.

It’s important to note that reconciliation is a journey--not a destination—requiring a deliberate and purposeful effort to yield positive empowering results.


The National Reconciliation Week 2021 includes panel discussions, interviews with experts in the field, workshops, training sessions and tips featured in a customized tool kit. Confirmed speakers include USA TODAY writing and health expert Jayne O’Donnell, relationship coach Paul Bashea Williams, nonprofit executive Ana Acevedo,  author and fatherhood expert Darryl Green, Certified Authentic Lifestyle Design coach and founder of Leap, Learn Live Stacey Clark, co-parenting guru Michael Smothers, self-help expert and founder of Young Parent Elevation Network Jennifer Okosun and certified life coach and women's fatherhood pioneer Jonetta Rose Barras.

LOSS, LOVE, COVID-19 AND RECONCILIATION

A Week of Healing Self, Family and Community

THE NATIONAL RECONCILIATION WEEK- JUNE 6-11

Presented by Esther Productions, Inc and Young Parents Elevation Network



(Washington, D.C.) – The novel coronavirus has helped amplify the importance of family around the world, including in American society. People have lost loved ones at unprecedented rates, sometimes leaving the living without the opportunity to bury them and grief their loss. In far too many cases some of these family members had been estranged from one another. Fathers and daughters may not have seen each other for decades or friends, angry about some slight, had not spoken, sent an email or a text.


Esther Productions Inc. and Young Parents Elevation Network have joined forces to create NATIONAL RECONCILIATION WEEK: FOR SELF & FAMILY from June 6 - 11, 2021. "The NRW is designed to help individuals and families heal from the emotional, mental and physical trauma of estrangement; to teach them effective methods of self and familial care, which would reduce the potential of recurrence of previous trauma; offer effective tools for developing and maintaining whole, healthy, stable relationships both personal and familial, including providing the framework for successful co-parenting; and to better equip them in creating a new post-pandemic normal.


The presenters believe reconciliation is a journey—not a destination. It requires a deliberate and purposeful effort to yield positive empowering results. "
