Self-Enrichment & Lifestyle   

This class offers us an opportunity to reflect and ponder some deep questions, while honoring our own inner voice. Each week we will be invited to answer important questions of Life, Love and Being. Digging deep to find our own profound meaning and truths, we will write toward clarity and inspiration. Writing and sharing together without judgment or critique, we learn and grow, building trust and loving kindness, and listening with respect and an open heart. All are welcome.

A $5 materials fee per participant will be collected during the first week for keepsake creations.
