Apr 7, 2024 | 2024 Presentations

Rev. Rita Marie will share how the Connection Practice healed her of a lifelong addiction. She will also share stories of how others have used it for deep healing. Lastly, she will teach the steps for experiencing your own deep healing. Educator, author, speaker, and award-winning innovator, Rita Marie Johnson has been sharing her method for over 20 years. She discovered a synergy between empathy and insight that maximizes social-emotional intelligence, eliminates unnecessary suffering, and leads to life enriching choices. This epiphany resulted in the Connection Practice, which works for people of all ages and from all walks of life. Her implementation of the Connection Practice (CP) in Costa Rican schools brought her the Ashoka Changemakers Innovation Award: Building a More Ethical Society, chosen from 79 projects in 32 countries. She has certified more than 250 Connection Practice Coaches and Trainers. Over 100,000 individuals in 12 countries have learned this wellness habit. Johnson taught the Connection Practice course for credit at the United Nations University for Peace, a graduate school for international leaders. Her book, Completely Connected, won a Nautilus Award in the Psychology Category of Better Books for a Better World and is an Amazon bestseller. Rita Marie initiated a bill for a Ministry for Peace in Costa Rica, which passed in the Legislative Assembly in 2009. She has been a keynote speaker for many conferences.
