Dream Group
The next six week cycle of our Dream Group (Dreaming as Spiritual Practice, but don't let the title scare you away; it is fun) began February 16, 2016 from 7-9 PM in the Gallery, facilitated by Phoebe Evans, MIPD. The recommended donation is $40 for the six weeks, but it is sliding scale and no one will be turned away for lack of funds. For questions or interest, please call Jenny Choate 831-588-6508 or Phoebe 831-359-1231. |
