Women’s Group

The Women's Group is ongoing and meets alternating Tuesdays from 7:30 - 9:00 p.m. at Seattle Mind Counseling in Greenlake.

  • Series length depends on the current book (about 4-8 sessions).

  • Cost: $25 per session, paid in full at beginning of each series.

  • Scheduling is flexible according to the needs of the group.

  • Location to be provided upon registration.

  • This group is for women only.

    The focus of the group is to consider life at its origin, and to live in harmony with the way of things. Women finding their own voices, and returning to the community to contribute as only women can do – that will be the quest of this group.

    This is not a therapy group nor a book group. Deep emotional issues are respectfully noted, but not intruded upon without permission. There is no pressure to talk when you prefer to be quiet. What you share is welcomed.

    Each 1.5-hour discussion centers on a book selected for its relevance to the feminine self in the given world. Conversations will direct participants to a rigorous look at the self, and a daring challenge toward community.

    Though intellectually stimulating, the matters will have practical applications. Women, though similar to men in almost all ways, have some significant differences. To filter those differences out from the bustle of ordinary life, and to sharpen their power, is an activity that requires space.

    This group provides space to read, discuss and learn that which we have left behind, untended and unrefined. We endeavor to bring those qualities back in order to live more intentionally and powerfully.

    There are issues of health, of community building, of birth, and intuition that often bear the mark of the feminine. Sprinkled with discussion led by professionals in the areas of physical health, sexuality and philosophy, women will enjoy each others’ company, and learn from the collective wisdom.

Belonging by bell hooks

What does it mean to call a place home? Who is allowed to become a member of a community? When can we say that we truly belong? These are some of the questions of place and belonging that renowned cultural critic bell hooks examines in her new book, Belonging: A Culture of Place.

The discussions are deeply thought provoking, ranging from topics both funny and universal, to quite personal and poignant. Dominique maintains the perfect balance of professionalism and warmth to encourage us all to go deeper in our experience of the material and of ourselves.
