EVENTS

PLN Orientation Session

Friday, February 9th,  12:00-12:45 pm ET

Everyone one is welcome! The orientation session is a chance to learn about the range of activities that make up the Peak Living Network and the various ways you can get involved. This is also an opportunity to ask questions about any aspect of the network, and a chance to meet other people who are new to the network.

Experienced PLN people are welcome to attend to say hello and to raise any issues that need to be discussed.

It’s helpful (but not required) to let us know you’re planning to attend by sending an email to [email protected]. Here’s the link:

CONTINUING GROUPS

Parallel Play

Thursdays,10:00-11:45 am ET, ongoing group, drop-in

Participants check in briefly at the beginning of the meeting, then everyone turns off their microphones but leaves their cameras on, and we all work separately on our personal projects. Being together helps us get things done! There is periodically space for new people to join. Members don’t need to attend every time, but pretty regular attendance is appreciated. Facilitated by Arthur. If you’re interested in joining, send an inquiry to [email protected] or send a Direct Message to Arthur on the PLN Slack space.

PLN Dance Group

Wednesdays and Fridays,  1:00 pm CT / 2:00 pm ET

This group meets twice weekly by Zoom to dance together. They have a blast! The group is drop-in, come when you can. To request a link, send Lorran a Direct Message on the PLN Slack, or send an email to [email protected] and we’ll forward it to Lorran.

OTHER NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

*  An Open Meeting for everyone (including people with no previous connection to PLN) and a Drop-In Group for Experienced Co-Counselors will both happen in early March. Times and dates will be announced in the next newsletter.

* We’re going to be moving largely toward time-limited groups of six or eight weeks, rather than open-ended ones. We’re also going to be trying to offer more monthly groups of different kinds .If you’re interested in leading a group, please reach out to Lundy at [email protected], or send a Direct Message on the PLN Slack space to MaryAnn or Betsy. We’re hoping that making groups time-limited will help people to feel the courage to lead their own groups!! Lundy is available to train, support, and consult with group leaders.

* PLN needs volunteers! Currently we need someone to put out this monthly newsletter. It takes about an hour per month, perhaps a little over. The job involves collecting the information from Lundy and other group leaders, entering it into MailChimp, and sending it out. We’re happy to train you to do it, including how to use MailChimp.

* Many thanks to everyone who volunteered to be in PLN training videos. We’ll be starting to record those at the beginning of March, so you’ll hear from us!

Be well, everyone!
