Small Group Online Monthly Fibro Support Circle
​
 BEGINNING FALL 2018 I am making the transition from 18 years of facilitating in-person classes to facilitating small ​online groups using Zoom.

You can view my two short video conversations (re creating a support circle and also the role of mindfulness in healing) with Dr. Ginevra Liptan, medical director of the Frida Center for Fibromyalgia , at youtube.com/drliptan 

***ANNOUNCING NAVIGATING THE FIBRO EXPERIENCE ---a once a month facilitated support circle TO HELP YOU FEEL WHOLE AGAIN.
    
***FOR REGISTRATION:  Go to the Upcoming Classes page!

What to Expect-Description and Benefits:

Enables easy participation from home.
Groups continue to be small (4 participants) and meet once monthly. 
The two-hour format combines experiential self-care tools (such as PAUSE, CALM, and REFOCUS) plus access to a facilitated circle of support.
Each meeting includes group sharing time plus reflective activities to help you develop a personal healing plan that focuses on your well-being and simple, doable action steps for moving forward from feelings of  limitation to feeling whole again

Our group time together is committed to maintaining a healing focus and sidestepping the oftentimes easy slide into illness focus. This is not to deny the very real challenges of living with this disease! Our group emphasis is on helping you identify what truly matters most to YOU now and exploring new possibilities to live a full life again...within an ongoing circle of support
​
Our time together gently supports you in taking steps forward to create a "life beyond fibromyalgia."
