This group focuses on developing trust within the group to learn about oneself including sore spots, areas where communication and insight are wanting, access "emotional knots" interfering with personal and interpersonal satisfaction. The questions, "What is love?" and "What is intimacy" will be explored and arrived at in different ways as this pertains to the needs of the group. The ultimate goal is to arrive at the process, the present and make contact with one's authentic self. The day, time and start date will be determined once I have an idea of your schedule.
