Here we have a photo of part of a room that usually serves a few different functions at my office, one of which is as a space for group programs. The photo was taken yesterday. It doesn’t really look to be in any shape to function as a room for groups just at the moment, does it? Here enters the reason I need to modify my previous announcement and plan, which was for the next mindful compassion group program begin next week. 

The background is that my usual office location has been unavailable recently while some repair work is being done. As these things can go, the work is going to finish at a later date than I had originally anticipated.

Thankfully, I have had the good fortune to be able to use an office elsewhere some of the time so that I can still meet with individuals for appointments. The mindful compassion group, however, is something that I think will have to wait until my usual office space is back up and running.

In light of this, I’ve been reflecting on a few options for a group if one were to begin during this fall once my usual office location is back up and running. One option would be to run a group of fewer sessions that would start in early October and finish around the third week of December. Another option would be to run a group of 15 sessions (as previously advertised), to start in early October and to finish in the new year (taking a small break in late December).

For either option, some good news is that there will be some unanticipated additional time for people to register! If either of these options interest you, please contact me and let me know what would work for you and your preferences.
