DISCUSSION DATES:
Thursday May 28, 2026 @ 11:00am - Empowering Ourselves and Each Other: Empowerment is a key concept that underlies every successful personal change effort and gives us the best chance of achieving our goals. Every one of us has encountered disempowering experiences. What makes the difference between letting these events defeat us and being able to put them in perspective and move forward? Let's discuss our own experiences with empowerment and how we have been able to empower others.
Thursday June 25, 2026 @ 11:00am - Juneteenth: On June 19, 1865 , enslaved African Americans in Texas were told that they were free. Also known as "Freedom Day", June 19th commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. What do you know about June 19th? Was the significance of this date known to you prior to it becoming a holiday in 2021? Do the events of Juneteenth (1865) relate to the racial inequality still experienced today? Let's discuss.

Thursday September 24, 2026 @ 11AM - Living in the Now: Join us for a thoughtful discussion about what it means to “live in the now” and whether staying present can influence happiness, coping, and perspective at every stage of life. Let’s discuss.
