Learning to Live with Loss is a monthly grief support group for people learning how to live in a world that’s been changed by loss. Grief can affect the body, the mind, relationships, and identity — often all at once. Each session offers gentle education about how grief works, along with time for reflection and optional conversation. There’s no pressure to share, no timeline to follow, and no expectation to “move on.” The goal is simple: to make sense of grief, reduce isolation, and offer support along the way. This group is supportive in nature and not a replacement for individual therapy.

Ever wanted to learn Mahjong (American version) but felt intimidated by the tiles and rules? This beginner-friendly, three-week introduction breaks it all down step by step in a fun and approachable way. We’ll start with the basics, move into rules and strategy, and wrap up with practice games so you can feel confident playing on your own. Temporary Mahjong cards will be provided, and participants are encouraged to purchase a 2026 Mahjong card if they’d like to continue playing beyond class. If interest continues, we may offer a follow-up session later in the summer. Come learn, play, and connect—one tile at a time.
