Newbie from Oregon
Hi, all, I just moved here from Oregon. I am into personal growth, and wondering if there are any groups or people interested in topics such as psychology, co-counseling, emotional support, NVC, HAI, authentic relating, mindfulness, etc. - any interest in topics like this. Thanks.

Can't help you with your topics but hi from an Oregon transplanet as well....moved here 3 months ago and love it!

There’s a zen meditation group that meets at Laurel Manor on Thursdays at 6:30. That’d be a good start. We have Tai Chi. Pick up a Recreation and Parks flyer at any of the Rec centers. Welcome!

Welcome to The Villages! Here is a list of clubs! https://www.districtgov.org/images/d...bs-Listing.pdf Ignore the negativity, you sound interesting. Go to Facebook and join your neighborhood group. People are generally nice there. Which neighborhood are you in?
|
B flat I’m with you.

go to districtgov.org. that is the villages main website. There are listed ALL groups ( not just the ones in the rec news). As a newbie also make sure you go to the New Resident night and Golf Cart safety clinic, given once a month and is free

When I’m feeling a little low I go to Disney and go on “it’s a small world” for a few hours works great and nobody knows….

People move here for many reasons. The climate, the company of people in like circumstances, the golf, the reasonable standard of living, whatever. But one of the primary reasons is/was to escape what all too many major cities on the East Coast, central industrial states and the West Coast have become. The wariness comes from the fear that the mindset that created the mess will be imported here. |

There are several snarky jerks on Talk of the Villages. You will quickly learn to ignore them. They are the reason I seldom respond to any posts here (or post questions myself). Your requests sound quite interesting, although I have no idea what NVC, HAI and authentic relating are. I assume you are actually wanting information about these topics, but I can't actually help you myself. Good luck to you, and best wishes. |
Look at the Enrichment Academy book or website. I attended a great Crystal Bowl Meditation class through there. These classes are for a fee, but there are some broader choices then the recreation center classes and groups imo.
|
Happy here
Sounds like th Villages is not a good fit for you. Check out communities in the Orlando area.

Welcome! The best place to start is the previous posted link to the clubs. There are internal growth groups of a variety of interests. Unfortunately, several here don’t feel self-awareness and self improvement are needed. It’s those that need it the most. We moved from Oregon a year ago. You’ll find what you are looking for here. You just have separate the wheat from the chaff. We are here and growing! Enjoy! We love it here.

You might want to reach out to the Band of Brothers group who meet at City Fire in Sumter Landing on Tuesdays and Brownwood Paddock on Thursdays, officially from 2PM to 4PM. I'm sure there are some folks there that would love to work with you and your ideas. Great organization. Very civic minded and always ready to help a friend. And Welcome Aboard
|
Thanks to those of you who have responded kindly and with helpful suggestions. Obviously I will need to choose my friends wisely here! Anyone who wants to send me a (friendly) message, please pm me - I welcome contact.

As someone up-thread said - you have to learn to separate the wheat from the chaff. I personally don't know of any specific clubs for authentic relating but I wouldn't doubt that there's at least one, among the over-3000 clubs! |
