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?

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?

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.
