Italian Conversation Group - Weekly
https://nextvillagesf.org/event/italian-conversation-group-weekly/Benvenuti Italian Language Speakers and Learners!!!!Join other Italians, Italian-Americans, and non-native Italian speakers who want to practice Italian in an informal and welcoming environment.
This is a casual gathering where people can use and practice their Italian. No judgement, no pressure!Join us weekly as we help each other practice Italian with a fun group of fellow lovers of the language!Logistical Notes:- Group meets weekly every Thursday at 11 AM — March 4, 11, 18 and 25, 2021.
- Come to as many sessions as you can, but it’s OK to miss some! Join whenever you can.
- This is a conversation group rather than a class.
- Basic conversational abilities are requested as the group endeavors to speak in Italian the entire session (although if someone needs help with words or phrases, the group is always willing to help!) Most participants are not native speakers and want to practice Italian with others, so no need to be fluent … just willing to try!

Stress Busters - Discussion Group (Intermediate)
https://nextvillagesf.org/event/stress-busters-discussion-group-intermediate/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.
