Grief Group
New: 8-Week Group. Losing a loved one is one of life's most devastating experiences. We may want to cry, or scream, or just sit in silence. In an Action Group, we find ways to express ourselves: Saying the things that were left unsaid; showing the irreplaceable things that we miss about our loved ones; presenting the times we've felt misunderstood, abandoned, or let down by the living. If needed: Tantrum at the dead, at other survivors, at God or the universe. If needed: Labor (metaphorically akin to birth labor) of mourning. When words fail: sound, movement, sculpture and touch.

Balancing Acts
Some of us could be better partners, parents, friends, and coworkers if we learned to “put on the other person’s shoes.” But others of us really need to learn to *put on our own shoes.* Are you too aggressive? Or maybe too timid? Are you too generous? Too stingy? Do you get carried away by your emotions? Or do you ignore them? What about your work/life balance? In this group you'll share your challenges and get feedback from your peers about how to move closer to your ideal life. Most important: We don't just talk about rebalancing -- we'll practice it.

Empathy for Dudes
An Action Group designed to help men develop better relationship skills, and expand their understanding of their own and others' thoughts, feelings and behavior. Increased emotional intelligence will help you in business, romance, friendship, parenting, and being a good member of your community. The group aims to help men to become more empathic, but it's also about ensuring that men *receive* understanding. Not only because everyone deserves it, but because you need to experience what it feels like to receive empathy in order to fully understand what it's all about.
