Today, groups are offered on almost every topic imaginable … and
there is good reason for this. Being a member of a group offers a sense
of belonging, reduces feelings of isolation, allows us to meet and be
with people with whom we have something in common, provides us an opportunity
to gain new insights and learn from the other group members and their
experiences, and gives us permission to spend time on ourselves …
to focus on us and our own personal growth and fulfillment.
The groups that I facilitate are not therapy groups. What I do as a group leader is create an environment and provide the opportunity for sharing, learning, questioning, clarifying, focusing, growing and having fun.
In the women's groups, we talk about friendship and other relationships, life passages and transitions, holding on and letting go, self-esteem, the psychology of women, goals and dreams and balance in our lives … we read books and articles and discuss them (just like Oprah! :) … we share stories and histories and experiences. We do this with laughter and sometimes with tears … with joy and sometimes with sadness … but always with honesty and respect for ourselves and each other.
Groups for singles (an equal number of women and men) focus on how we can better understand each other, the singles and dating experience and what it means and how it works for both genders, the differences between men and women, not just at the Mars/Venus level, but also on a deeper level … we share our experiences and what we've learned from them … how we've been successful and in what ways we've been challenged … we read interesting articles and discuss them … we laugh a lot and make friendships that may last a lifetime.
Groups are forming on an ongoing basis.
If you would like more information on
upcoming groups (either for you or a friend or relative), please e-mail
me and I will keep you posted.
