Tentative Schedule (subject to change)
Tues November 5th: Is Election Day, which can be a stressful day. Therefore, we are offering an Election Day circle support session. We will use a circle process to reflect on the following questions:
- If the election does not go the way you would like it to, today, what are steps you can take to take care of yourself- tonight, this week and after?
- What are concrete things that you are currently doing to make positive change in the world, that will continue, regardless of the outcome of today’s election?
- What are positive things happening in our community or in the world in general that give you hope?
(Note that Six Rivers cannot take a stand for or against a political candidate or issue. However, we can hold this circle for people to process their feelings regarding the election. Any comments that Six Rivers staff, board or volunteers make regarding the election in this space on the 5th are their own and not an official position of Six Rivers. There may be differences of opinion in this circle about the election, and hopes for the election outcome. We request that people only speak from their own experiences.)
Tues December 3rd: Special guests Karen Kelley and Michelle Lee from the Dispute Resolution Center of Yakima and Kittitas counties will be joining us, to provide an overview of the Washington state parenting plan form. This is a required form for Washington parenting plan cases. Those who mediate family cases with Six Rivers are strongly encouraged to attend.
