Join us for our New Spanish Conversation Group

Have you been learning Spanish during the pandemic and wish you could practice it? Or if you are a fluent speaker, do you wish there was a place you could converse in Spanish from a safe social distance?

Join us for our new NEXT Village Spanish Conversation group for conversation in an informal and welcoming environment.

This is a casual gathering where people can use, practice and help each other with their Spanish. No judgement, no pressure!

Please note that this is a conversation group, not a class. There is no instructor. Basic familiarity with Spanish is requested, however no need to be fluent, just willing to try!

Zoom login & phone dial in number will be sent in reminder email from NEXT Village 24 hours prior to event.

Women’s Conversation Group
Featuring Ace Volunteers Alex & Leslie Pellegrini
Weekly on Wednesdays, 1 – 2 pm: March 3, 10, 17, 24 and 31, 2021

Alex and Leslie continue their popular facilitated weekly women’s conversation group.

This has become a highlight of the week for women wanting to have a weekly anchor event to keep them laughing and connected (via a safe, socially distanced Zoom gathering!).

This is a special community for women who want to join a close knit and welcoming weekly group. You never know what questions will be asked as you learn more about each other’s interests, values, and lives.

Intermediate Stress Busters workshops or discussion groups alternate on Thursday every 2 weeks to help us get through the pandemic and beyond together! These Intermediate events are intended for people who have participated in some of our Introductory Workshops Series. (We hope to start another Intro Workshop series in the future.)

In our monthly Stress Busters workshops, Eileen and Gary provide lessons on simple steps you can use to reduce stress. Upcoming workshop dates: 3 PM Thursdays, March 18 & April 15.

In addition to workshops, they also offer a monthly informal discussion group to provide a more interactive opportunity for us to share and discuss concepts from the workshops in more depth. Upcoming discussion group dates: 3 PM Thursdays, March 4 & April 1

Discussion groups have become a wonderful monthly gathering for people to compare notes on what has been stressing us out, how we reacted, and learn how we might apply the Stress Busters techniques to future situations.

If you were not able to attend all of the Introductory series Stress Busters workshops or want a refresher on the 5 steps, visit http://www.123dingsum.org/how-to-ding-sum to familiarize you with the information we’ll be discussing during the Intermediate workshops and discussion groups.

Speakers – Eileen Chan and Gary Ow are native San Franciscans. Both have volunteered with Stress Busters since the organization was founded over 30 years ago. Eileen is trained as an optometrist and Gary Ow works in computer technology. They are married with three grown children.

Zoom login & phone dial in number will be sent in reminder email from NEXT Village 24 hours prior to event.
