Community Living Skills
-Our goal of creating and maintaining sustainable living systems 
requires, co creating, and working together to utilize everyone's 
talents.  In this process many of us receive the gift of looking at our

Feelings such as greed, envy, pride, anger, deceit and fear can arise.  
These classes focus on understanding ourselves, taking responsibility 
for our feelings and communicating openly with truth.  We will utilize
