Kelsey Collins, Sisters-based speaker and author will be kicking off the 3-speaker event “Life Wide Open: Three Perspectives on Trust, Forgiveness and Transformation” July 28th at the Tower Theatre in Bend.

The event will take place, Wednesday, July 28th, doors opening at 5PM, with a spiritually-packed lineup including Collins and Central Oregon speaker/authors, David Santangelo and Terri Daniel, and music by daring, innovative, and known to many as the darling of the Sisters Folk Festival, singer and songwriter Susan Werner. This signature event seeks to expand traditional definitions of trust, forgiveness and transformation into a new whole by featuring three speakers focused on three phases of life.

Collins, renowned for inspiring others to live with their hearts wide open, and her book, “Exit Strategy: Leaving this Life with Grace and Gratitude” – now on tour throughout the Northwest and California – will take event participants on an interactive journey through trust and the purpose of living a life wide open. Collins has spoken to hundreds at numerous conferences and workshops throughout the Northwest as a speaker with an uncanny ability to relate across generations on subjects critical to our wholeness as a culture.

Said Collins, “We often tell ourselves that we can’t be happy when we are challenged. Nothing could be further from the truth. It’s our challenges that empower us to grow, seek, expand and explore. When we trust that, through love and forgiveness, our lives are naturally transformed. This event will seek to address that.”

The event will take place on July28th, on the main stage at the Tower Theatre. It will be a full evening event including music and hors d‘œuvres provided by Tate and Tate catering. Tickets will be on sale July 8th through the Tower Theatre and given away on Clear 101.7FM. Limited seating is available.
