Barbara Eck has offered to take over leadership of this new women’s group. Her background includes 44
years of nursing and counseling and leadership of many groups during that time.
She and Barani, who needed to step away because of health issues, both share the same vision for what this group might become. We hope to create a safe space for sharing of personal experience and feelings with confidentiality assured and equal access to all members.

The group will meet the second Saturday of each month at 10-11:30 in Fellowship Hall. Start and stop times will be enforced, so be sure to come on time. Topics submitted by the group members will be selected.

Our emphasis is on feelings and experience related to the topic. This will be a ‘politics free zone’. It will also be a ‘judgement free ‘zone. We will employ ‘council sharing’ which we have learned from our Native American siblings. One person talks at a time. Others listen, really listen. Nobody HAS to talk, but nobody talks a second time until all have had the opportunity to share.

The topic for November 9th will be  Dealing with anxiety (we’ve all had plenty in recent weeks!).

I look forward to meeting with you.
Blessed be,
Barbara Eck
