Nov 2021

This was a fantastic talk by Dr. Adrian Bardon, Prof of Philosophy at WFU and author of “The Truth About Science Denial: Bias and Self-Deception in Science, Politics, and Religion.” Among a host of topics Dr. Bardon covered how politics radically shapes Americans views of COVID, COVID vaccines and science in general. We were all stuffed inside a cold tent due to COVID but the topic could not have been more interesting.

The Enneagram is a powerful tool that can help us recognize the habits and patterns of our personalities, which are deeply rooted in illusions we carry about ourselves and the world.

Sept 2021

This was our very first evening together “after” the COVID pandemic. And as I write this, the pandemic is not even remotely over. After this evening I found myself overwhelmed by the beauty of this group, the support we show for each other, and incredibly reflective of the heaviness of all that we have been through. 2019-2020

Spring 2018

Spring 2018

Women have made a lot of progress as a group but there is certainly room for improvement. We are worried about raising both sons and daughters during these times.  Even in 2018 there is still a societal focus on looks/cuteness/prettiness in girls. African American women are concerned about their sons being treated differently in so many ways - especially in the eyes of the law and particularly when they are seen with/dating white women.

The evening included small group discussions followed by a large group session where Professor Beth Hopkins gave a presentation that outlined the chronology of the race issue in the United States as sanctioned by the Supreme Court beginning with the Dred Scott (1857) case.

1. What was it like for you growing up as a girl?  Were you treated any differently than your brothers/male cousins?
