We all do better when we all do better
Our health is linked to the health of the earth

A New Path
A New Path: Mutual Support-- Together, we can accomplish things that no single person or family can accomplish.
This is a “new story,” a story that shows how inventive, creative and cooperative we can be, especially during hard times.
Together, we are a genius.

Ground Rules•Sharing is voluntary. You don’t have to share or personally disclose anything you don’t wish to share.
•Respect one another. We are creating a space of respect and personal safety.
•Confidentiality within the group is required. Personal information disclosed within the group stays there.
•Make space for all to contribute. Talkative people may want to hold back a little. People who tend to hold back --- please feel invited to open up more. •Honor our differences. We assume that people are experiencing insecurity differently depending on their personal circumstances, culture, race, gender and other differences. Let us honor and celebrate our diversity. Our intent is not to persuade others of our viewpoints. Regardless of our differences, we all can benefit from strengthening our common security. The main thing is that we listen to and understand each other as our primary objective.
