Has your life been impacted by the recent funding cuts? Whether you are facing job loss, reduced resources, or an uncertain future, you are not alone. This group will meet for 6 one-hour sessions and will be facilitated by two licensed therapists from .a.r.c.

This group will be 6 one-hour sessions held on Thursdays starting on April 24. Sessions will start at 7PM at Ormewood Church (1071 Delaware Avenue SE).

While St. Paul UMC, Ormewood Church, and Eastside UMC are sponsoring this important space, all faith expressions are welcome and the facilitators will make space for different approaches to care.

If a $5 fee is currently financially burdensome, you can select the scholarship cost of $0. Alternatively, if you wish to financially contribute more, there is also an option to enter in a unique amount manually.

This group will be limited to 12 participants to ensure there is time and space for all to share. Because of the limited spaces, please make a good faith commitment to attending each session.

"My OC tendencies have often been a source of pride. In the past, I specifically enjoyed my ability to “outsmart” therapists, by working hard to appear a certain way. Of course, they didn’t suffer any negative consequences. I did."

Working hard and "outsmarting" others is an adaptive strategy and sometimes gets in the way of connection! Come join us to learn more about RODBT and skills to support nervous system connection.

We're excited to announce we're moving to a permanent (as long as the winds allow) space!

Starting mid February, we'll be moving to a group office space in Studioplex off Auburn Avenue next to the Beltline and couldn't be happier to have more space & sunshine.

Thanks to OneTwelve Designs for our buildout and The Farren Group for helping us find a "just right" spot.

Still I Rise
BY MAYA ANGELOU

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
’Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
Weakened by my soulful cries?

Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
’Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin’ in my own backyard.

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history’s shame
I rise
Up from a past that’s rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.

Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.
