• Navigating These Unpredictable Times: The relative stability most of us have known since WWII is showing serious signs of collapsing. We can't count on life now as we once could. Many of us are anxious and depressed, and many of us are in denial. We will explore a variety of psychological and consciousness processes that can help us handle these deep concerns in a supportive group environment. Four hour session.
• Being Single: More and more people live alone for a variety of different reasons. In many circles there is a stigma attached to being single. We will explore the many faces of this issue together from the personal as well as the cultural point of view. Group could continue afterwards as a support group for those interested. Three hour session.
