Rivera Sun is an author, notably of fantasy novels for children with a fresh take on the themes of courage, character, humanness, friendship. In her writing, she began to wonder if we needed the violence that seems to persist in the story-telling in fantasy. Instead of trying to win the war, could we instead try to prove the heroism? We face epic struggles — climate crisis, nuclear weapons, pandemic — and can feel very small. That’s where these stories come in — the framework, metaphors, role models and heroes, and the ways to overcome the struggles without choosing violence. The group conversations centered on the question asking what stories have shaped you, and what did you draw from them? What are the elements and themes that might be showing up in your life over and over again?

Norma Loeb spent years helping her mother, with whom she was very close, as her health failed and misdiagnoses led to confusion and frustration. When the accurate diagnosis came, Norma found a path to support others who were caregivers for Lewy Body Dementia, and those who were afflicted. Along the way, there were many points of decision, and of change, that were presented. This inspiring story led us to discuss what might be coming next, something that feels like it needs to change, and the next steps might not yet be revealed. For Norma, the key to moving forward was compassion for her mother. What might be the key for you?

Paul and Wayne met in 1976, performing in a production of “Babes in Arms” in San Francisco, moved in together a year later, and have been together ever since. As performers, Paul’s career as a dancer and Wayne’s as a singer took them to New York, and then each of them traveled for work, often having to spend time apart while committed to remaining together. They returned to California moving to Los Angeles in the 1980’s, and their career path took them a different direction, and they found ways to work together and be together. Facing some significant, life-threatening health issues, they are now healthy, active, and singing together as a duo, performing for Assisted Living Centers with a really busy performing calendar, after a hiatus during Covid. Check them out at www.delsmithioproductions.com! Their story is a palpable and contagious story of joy, of love, of the importance of saying ‘yes’ to everything, and telling people you know that you love them - because it may be the last chance you have.

Our own Liz and Jelena led the story-telling today, focusing on creating balance. The concepts of balance and equanimity - and the difference between them - were explored. Jelena shared the idea of being on a see-saw to find balance, and yet at this moment in our current global situation with Russia invading Ukraine, it feels as though we are on the see-saw with the whole world, and there is a big imbalance. In the small rooms, people explored how to find equanimity, and what practices people have to find hope, and experience optimism, even when things are difficult.
