Santa Fe Event: Monthly Program: Walk Confidently Through 2021
Monday, January 25, 2021, 6‑7:30pm MSTLocation: Online via Zoom
All Attendees: FREE
NOTE: Due to unforeseen circumstances the topic and presenter have changed.
2020 was a year that knocked most of us out of our usual routines and invited us to contemplate the big questions: What do I stand for? What do I want? If I could have my life back the way it used to be, would I even want that? And if not that, what?
As we begin 2021, some of us will be forging ahead in (possibly new) ways that are deeply satisfying, while others of us will still be caught in a place of waiting and wondering. However, all of us can have thought deeply about our values and wants, and codified them into something that will guide us through the coming year.
Come participate in an activity that will help you not only identify your values and wants, but also help you see which are the most important, the ones you can comfortably rely on to guide your choices and actions in 2021.
Rhoda Mitchell, M.Ed., is a coach and wisdom teacher, helping individuals find their deepest desires, own their power and live their best lives. She brings a playful approach to “serious” subjects and puts her more than 35 years of insights and experience at your disposal. You will enjoy the interaction with her.

Boston Chapter Event: It's 5:00 Somewhere - A Peek into Prisons in America
Friday, January 29, 2021, 5‑6pm ESTLocation: Online
All Attendees: $5
What we don't know and would never imagine about prison conditions in Massachusetts. (A Peek into Prisons in America)
Learn more about this important issue and what you might do
This is a pivotal time for criminal justice reform in MA because the US Department of Justice (DOJ) recently completed an investigation into conditions in MA prisons and found many ways in which MA violates prisoners' constitutional protections - to such an extent the Boston Globe described the abuses as “tales of neglect and deprivation and human callousness so disturbing as to be unconscionable in a modern prison setting.” (November 27)
Per the Globe, the DOJ findings could lead to a consent decree overseen by a federal monitor, as recently happened in Virginia, which would be an important hard won reform.
