Maria Ji, professional business and life coach, will be the guest speaker at the next Comox Valley Women's Business Network meeting, March 11 at the Black Fin Pub.

Ji says there are two places to come from (not just ways of being/feeling): our essence and our survival mechanism.

She will take the WBN through an exercise to discover the essence of what life would be like if we came from this place most of the time.

Register for this dinner at www.cvwbn.org. The deadline is Monday, March 9 at 5 p.m.

The WBN has two upcoming special events. On March 28, it sponsors the play When I鈥檓 64 at the Sid Williams Theatre. Showtimes are 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

Proceeds benefit the L'Arche Comox Valley鈥檚 I Belong! campaign.

Tickets are $25. Call the Sid at 250-338-2430.

Also, mark your calendars for the WBN鈥檚 inaugural Retreat at Tigh-Na-Mara in Parksville, April 25-26. More information is on the WBN website.
