FRIDAYPROGRAM

Macy Robison

Musical Dance Theatre, BYU; creator & performer, Children Will Listen: Reflections on Mothering

Children Will Listen: Reflections On Mothering

Enjoy a unique “cabaret-style” performance featuring music and musings with Macy Robison celebrating the women and mothers in our lives—daughters, stepdaughters, sisters, friends, teachers, wives, stepmothers, daughters-in-law and mothers. We’ll bring Macy. You bring the tissues.

 

Virginia H. Pearce

Master’s degree in social work; former counselor in general Young Women’s presidency; author of A Heart Like His

Listen Up, This is Your Mother Talking!
While you might only have one mother, luckily we can be mothered by countless others if we are smart enough to listen.  Virginia will put us in touch with some of our spiritual mothers--the women of the scriptures and the Restoration, who have so much to say that is more relevant today than ever before.

Emily Watts

Senior editor, Deseret Book Company; mother of five; author, I Hate It When Exercise Is the Answer

From Believing to Becoming (in One Terrifying Leap!)

In every place except the dictionary, believing precedes becoming. But sometimes it takes a big leap of faith to embrace the beliefs that will lead us to our greatest possibilities. Emily shares several beliefs that can take you to some interesting new places, and triple-dog-dares you to put them into action!

SATURDAYPROGRAM

Hilary Weeks

Top-selling female LDS artist; singer; songwriter; author; albums include If I Only Had Today

Musical Presentation

You said you can't imagine TOFW without her; happily, you don't have to. Hilary is not just a great songwriter and incredible performer; she is first and foremost a woman-a wife, a mother, a daughter, and a sister. Her humor and her testimony make every event perfect (don't miss her new parody!)

Mary Ellen Edmunds

Former director of training, MTC; author of many books, including Peculiar—in a Good Way

Identity Theft

We all know about the technological attempts to steal our identities, but how aware are we of the adversary's attempts to HIDE our identities? There is an all-out war trying to keep us from knowing who we really are. Know who you are and you will protect yourself from the ultimate identity thief!

Linda J.Eyre and Shawni Eyre Pothier

Linda, mother of nine, and Shawni, mother of five; co-authors, A Mother's Book of Secrets

Finding Holiness Amidst the Havoc

Sometimes motherhood can seem as far away from "holy" as you can get when you're dealing with attitude from your teenager or scrubbing ball-point pen off the couch. Though holiness in motherhood does not come easy, there are a few simple tools that can make it a part of your everyday moments.

S. Michael Wilcox

Ph.D., University of Colorado; former institute instructor; author, What the Scriptures Teach Us about Adversity

Time to Sit and Learn

In the scriptures there is a direct relationship between light, intelligence and truth with righteousness, godliness and character. Using stories like Mary and Martha, Michael invites us to see the importance of taking time to "sit and learn" in the midst of all the other demands on our time and our hearts.

Wendy Ulrich

Ph.D.; founder, Sixteen Stones Center for Growth, LLC; former president, Association of Mormon Counselors and Psychotherapists; author, Forgiving Ourselves and Weakness Is Not Sin

Your Personal Plan for Happiness
Research says that 40% of our happiness is within our power to control. And much of what we learn from research coincides with what we learn from the scriptures about how to cultivate habits of happiness and hope. Learn seven proven happiness enhancers and start building your own happiness plan.

Mariama Kallon

Survivor of war-torn Sierra Leone, humanitarian beneficiary; LDS convert and public speaker; attended LDS Business College

Why Should My Heart Weep?
Mariama often says, "If someone had told that I would be here, I would have never believed it." From her Muslim upbringing in war-torn Sierra Leone to serving as a Mormon missionary on Temple Square in Salt Lake City, Mariama has learned what God can do in our lives when we give our lives to Him.
