Join a Free Support Group for Trauma

Hi All and Welcome! When I saw this image of two people looking so relaxed in a quiet spot, it reminded me of the way things used to be, before the text and email era. Whether it was a cafe, diner or another local hang-out, people got together often. We had no cells or smart phones, so we could concentrate more fully on each other: If our friend was upset about something, it was easier to shift the focus off ourselves, and really "tune in" to their needs. Without all the chaos and stress we have now, we could listen more deeply. I found a quote by the late Zen Buddhist monk, Thích Nhất Hạnh. where he describes what deep listening is about: "I am listening to him not only because I want to know what is inside him or to give him advice. I am listening to him just because I want to relieve his suffering". Whatever your challenges are this season...whether you are dealing with an estranged family, a divorce or bad break-up, the loss of a loved one or something else that's difficult, please know that you are truly welcome to join us! Along with our self-introductions and group shares, we'll learn some safe and fun 'deep-listening' exercises to help us feel closer and less stressed. Our 90 minute sessions will start on Friday, November 7, 2025 and end on Friday January 23, 2026 These sessions will start at the same time every week (from 6:00pm -7:30pm PDT ) and please feel free to register for as many sessions as you like. Hope I see you there!
