Shorts Program 6: Whirls and Currents

Running time: 97 mins

It?s not what happens, but how you handle it.

Our Whirls and Currents program is a romantic visual representation of ?shit happens.? Life always throws us curve balls when we least expect it and regardless of what happens, our resilience shines through. Like traveling on a river, success rarely comes from paddling up stream. This program helps instill the mindset we need to persevere when less than favorable events occur. Whether it is a death in the family or the development of a petrifying fear, we learn the methods we must utilize to rise like a phoenix and become stronger than before.
