New York Times and internationally bestselling German author Bernhard Schlink stormed onto the U.S. literary scene when his book "The Reader" (1997) was selected as an Oprah pick and made into an Oscar-winning film featuring Ralph Fiennes and Kate Winslet. Since then, he has continued to write powerful and disquieting books that raise moral questions about Germany immediately following WWII. As Bernhard returns with "The Granddaughter," we invite you to join us for a very special event to discuss this striking exploration of the wounds of the past, told through the story of a German bookseller’s attempt to connect with his radicalized granddaughter.

I've attended the 3-day Shaping Freedom event and an Online Goal Setting event that was led by Lisane, and I must say that Lisane has a true gift of speaking life into each attendee with amazing listening skills and insight that is specific to each person's situation and she makes each person feel heard and seen. The life tools that she shares will change your life and she makes them palatable so that you want to take action when you leave. I highly recommend Shaping Freedom's events, they are worth every penny and I will surely be attending more in the future! Thank you Lisane, you are amazing!! PS: I purchased candles and a yogamat, and they are fantastic. I love mv mat so much I'm orderina a second one. -Kathy C. • Gave Me The Jumpstart To Make Huge Changes In My Life. I met Lisane many years ago and always knew that I wanted to work with her. In 2020, in the midst of COVID I was feeling very unfulfilled in my personal relationship and my career. I am use to setting and achieving goals each year, which was difficult to do when the world shut down. I joined Lisane's program and I'm so happy I did. It gave me the jumpstart to make huge changes in my life. With her support, I finally obtained my Crossfit L-1 Trainer Certificate. Something I was trying to achieve for a few years but limiting beliefs held me back. From there it was a domino effect. I moved back to NYC, found my dream job, let go of a relationship that was draining my soul and relocated to Florida to start a beautiful new chapter in my life. Yes, I put in the work but Lisane provided the tools, guidance, support and her beautiful kindness. She hears what you are saying and helps to reframe thoughts so you can continue moving forward. If you are willing to put in the work, Lisane's programs are worth joining. I will forever be grateful. -Cheryl F. Shaping Freedom on Facebook / Instagram

Over 350 students attend SMSC, ranging from recent high school graduates to seniors well into their eighties. This year’s event will honor Bev Ireland and have Ginger Poutous as the Honorary Chair. The Host Chairs are Robbin “Kulek” Lockie and John Lockie. The presenting sponsors are The Guild Hotel and The Mansour Group.

About St. Madeleine Sophie’s Center: St. Madeleine Sophie’s Center (SMSC), a nonprofit organization in El Cajon, CA, educates and empowers individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to realize their full potential. Founded in 1966 by the Society of the Sacred Heart, the Center first focused on pre-school children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. When public schools began to assume that role in the early 1970s, SMSC shifted its focus to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Today, SMSC provides work training and social experiences that encourage students to become well-rounded, contributing members of the greater community. The Center also strives to educate the community about the realities of intellectual and developmental disabilities, such as Down syndrome, autism, and cerebral palsy. It employs over 120 staff members and has a fleet of some 45 paratransit vans and buses transports students between home, campus, and work sites, five days a week.
