Favorite:

Change and loss are essential to the human experience yet our resistance to both can cause great suffering and pain. In her Ted Talk, Catalina Rios will share her journey through loss and address strategies for embracing and accepting change and loss as gifts and opportunities for growth and personal development. She will share her poems and art work, both of which have helped to guide her journey. She will also offer insights into processes that can alleviate our resistance and suffering as we encounter change and inevitable loss.

Catalina Rios is the Lower School Spanish Teacher at AFS.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
