- In-person and online? How's that going to work? Offering these sessions in-person and online allows those who live at distance or wish to avoid in-person contact to participate fully in these sessions. Those attending in-person will have the flexibility to hop online as their situation dictates or public health restrictions change. We'll have a number of cameras and screens in the meeting space that will allow everyone to see and hear each other clearly and engage in one-to-one interactions, too.
- How many participants can attend? The course is designed for up to 12 participants and a minimum of 6. A maximum of 6 participants may attend in-person.
- Who's facilitating and what are your qualifications? I am an accredited coach and facilitator. For the past three years I have facilitated a circle of women exploring the theme of aging, in-person, online and a combination of both. I have participated in and received special training in offering an aging from the Center for Courage and Renewal. In addition, with my partner Leslie Chandler, I facilitate short retreats outdoors and online that offer participants an opportunity to step back from their daily life, reflect and recharge.
