This is Colleen Clark 's story:

Colleen Clark is a clinical social worker with over 40 years of experience. As a recognized trauma expert, Colleen had always felt the urge to share her knowledge and insights. Her book, "Come Passion: The Soulful ART of Healing Trauma," published in April 2023. Colleen soon realized the significance of celebrating this milestone in her career. She wanted her book launch event to be a memorable and impactful experience, a true celebration of collaboration and gratitude. Colleen meticulously planned every detail, from the venue to the decorations, ensuring that each element reflected her spiritual beliefs and the essence of her work. Feathers, symbolizing compassion and delicate healing, were intricately incorporated throughout the event, from the book covers to the decorations and even the cake. The program included speeches from supportive friends, colleagues, and even Colleen's own granddaughter, for a truly meaningful occasion. The event was a success, with attendees eagerly purchasing and requesting personalized signed copies of the book. Colleen's book launch event was a testament to the power of collaboration, compassion, and the belief that healing is possible for all.
