Letter from the Chair – September 2019
We’re moving toward the end of another year and I find myself disappointed again because summer is leaving us. You can feel the changes all around as “everyone” goes back to school. What will be new for you this fall?
For our chapter, we have two new Transition Peer Groups meeting this fall. The Single Women’s Group and an East Side Group, women whose zip code is on the east side of town will both meet in September, October and November.
The Transition Peer Group is one of the TTN Signature Programs only available to our members. The Peer Groups are small groups of our members who come together monthly to explore topics of their choice in depth.
Unlike Special Interest Groups, membership in a Peer Group is consistent from month to month. They add new members only when the existing group decides to do so. Frequently meeting in smaller groups fosters the deeper connections and intimacy that attract women to TTN.
In Central Ohio, Peer Groups are a new offering. Later this year we’ll examine the results and consider next steps.
The Chapter has also begun planning for the 2020 year. In August, a group of members volunteered to take on the planning of programs for 2020. We have a tentative slate of programs and will be meeting again on October 1, to confirm meeting topics, speakers and locations for the 2020 year.
Membership growth and retention will be the next topics to tackle when we come back together. If you could not make the August meeting and will take on some tasks to help with the 2020 year, mark October 1 on your calendar and watch for further details.
I look forward to seeing all of you on September 16, our next monthly program date.
Make it a great day!
Ann

“Health, the Ultimate Form of Wealth”
At our TTN Central Ohio Chapter meeting on August 18, 2019, Susan Fehl spoke about the energy centers or chakras in our bodies, and discussed how to eliminate energy blocks and get things flowing. This is all backed up by a growing body of evidence. Chakras are the emotional, mental and spiritual energy centers. Illness results from blocks in the flow of energy.
First, she told us about her story of pain starting in high school, her journey to eliminate that pain, and how she came to study energy. She sang the praises of TTN’s workshop, which helped Susan realize her goal of working with energy.
She provided a handout to follow along as she went through each of the chakras, their names, the element associated with them, their color, the stones and crystals associated with them, and the energetic realm they rule. Susan also discussed what happens if any of your chakras are blocked. For example, your intuition can be lost or you could have headaches if your Third Eye Chakra is blocked.
There are many ways of unblocking your energy for each of the chakras, she explained. For example, some techniques to unblock, ground and balance the Third Eye Chakra are sunshine, meditation, yoga, Tai Chi, and sound healing.
Some resources are as follows:
- Sound healing Free on You Tube. Google: healing music hz.
- Heal and align the seven chakras with Tibetan Singing Bowls sound therapy. Learn more at www.integro-restore.com
- Dr. Sandra Solano: Sound Bath at Radiant Yoga and Wellness (many first Sundays @ 7:00-8:00 p.m.)
There are too many other wonderful resources to list here, including yoga, Tai Chi, meditation, HeartMath, Reiki, acupuncture, and more. Two of the lasting questions she had were “What are we going to do to achieve our definition of Health?” and “Do you recharge yourself every day?”
