1. Beyond Midlife…. the Wisdom Years
As mature women, there comes a time in our lives when we feel an urgency to live authentically: to find out who we are beyond the roles we’ve played and the responsibilities we’ve carried. Join a nurturing community of like-minded women as we explore the transition from midlife onward. Through discussion, journaling, yoga, and reflection, we’ll increase our self-awareness and expand our sense of self-discovery, as we delve into the practical applications of coming home to ourselves. At the end of the series, you’ll have an action plan for moving ahead on your journey home. Wear comfortable clothing and bring a journal and pen.
When: Tuesdays, 4-5:30 p.m. March 6th through April 10th
Where: Santa Fe Community College
Cost: $115
Pre-registration required through the Community College at 428-1270 or www.sfcc.edu.

We all have stories to tell. Leave a legacy for your children and grandchildren by shaping your personal stories into memoirs. In class, we'll use writing exercises, free writing, and discussion to unearth stories and tap memories. We'll also cover interviewing techniques to access stories of other family members. With the support of classmates, students will complete one essay by the end of this class to share or publish. Please come to class with a journal and pencil.
