This gathering will be a bit different in focus. Many in our community are thinking about major life changes: where we want to live, what kind of community we want to live with, what kinds of relationships we want, what lifestyle we want, what we want to do with our life, what we will do after retirement, how we will support ourselves, do we have the finances we need. Often we think about these things in isolation or with little support. This is a chance to express your feelings about where your life is going, hear what others are thinking about, do some brainstorming, learn from what others have tried or heard about, and possibly come away with new support for facing the next step of our lives.
We will spend some time in groups of mutual interest - finances, communities, dealing with emotional issues, general brainstorming, as well as general sharing. Come and join us to look at a very practical side of life in our age.

I've been getting your freeheart notifications for a while now, but have been nervous about coming. I can't get a good sense as to whether the community is open, maleable, changing...or whether it's remained static for a while. I can't get a sense for how large the group is, what kinds of people are involved, etc...this frightens me, yet I'm intrigued by the group, and long so much to meet people of like mind.
Perhaps I ask too much, but could you give some idea of what things are like?

Through the years I have been visiting only a few times. Each time was very different, with different people, diffferent activities, and different perspectives. The common thread is open mindedness and warmth.

This is an internal conflict you are the only one can solve. The best way to find the answer to your concerns is to come, get acquainted, and decide by yourself. I am sure everybody will be happy to meet you, make you feel comfortable, and share their experiences with you.

I am planning on coming this Sunday. John R.
The people who come to the gatherings do vary, but there is a core group of 6-10 people who come regularly. We are a very open group, welcoming of newcomers and oldcomers alike. I think you will find us open and friendly, and a place where you will feel comfortable and safe. I'd be glad to answer any specific questions you have, privately or publically.
The events themselves vary a lot - some are more formal, sit down and talk, or do simple exercises - some are more informal - talking, singing, getting to know each other better. We seek to create a sense of community that is open to anyone seeking connection and awareness. I hope you give us a try.
