Dark Shadows with Barry Michels
Sunday, December 7th at 10am PT
A shadow support group that delves into the depths of life's challenges. Community members are invited to explore and confront the shadows that lurk in the darkness, embracing the complexities and difficulties that often go unspoken. In this safe and inclusive space, Barry shares his own experience with LBD and the unknown future navigating it, fostering an atmosphere of openness and vulnerability. Nothing is considered too heavy or taboo as the group collectively navigates through life's darkest moments, finding solace and strength in shared experiences. Join us as we shine a light on our dark shadows and discover the power of community in facing life's toughest trials.
Virtual Poetry Reading
Sunday, December 14th at 10am PT
As many of you know, about a year ago I was diagnosed with a neurological disorder called Lewy Body Dementia (LBD for short). Needless to say, the diagnosis hit me hard. And then something unexpected happened. I began to write poetry. Actually, to be truthful, the poetry poured out of me—pretty much involuntarily. I had never been much of a fan of poetry, but I liked these. They were written in my voice—but it was a new voice, a voice I didn’t recognize.
And some of the poems—They really got to me...
That’s when I decided to host a virtual poetry reading so that everyone can join me. I hope to see you there!
