Women in Transition Workshop (WIT) is a TTN Signature Program, a workshop in which you will interact with other members in the NYC chapter to help you clarify how you want to live your life now and in the future. The workshop will help you examine yourself, develop insight, explore new possibilities, and navigate the changes in your life.

This is an in-person 4-hour, 1-day workshop. The workshop is limited to 20 members. We will meet in the larger group and break up into small discussion groups to facilitate meaningful connections and a deeper understanding. At the end of the workshop, members will have developed an action plan for next steps.
