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.

Dam, I always thought personal growth entailed stuff like getting lots of exercise, eating well, staying in good shape, and improving the golf or pickle-ball game. Must be an Oregon thing?

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!

What town in Florida were you born?

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.

Nope!!!

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

Wow, I've seen some rude comments here, but that one defies logic. To the OP, I hope you aren't buying that "Friendliest Hometown" bunk.

Welcome, many groups here. Check the local paper. Good Luck.
