We listen to each other, share our thoughts, sip our hot drinks, and enjoy being together. We do this at Neutra House in Los Altos the second Sunday of each month at 11:00 in the morning.

Winter Festival
Sunday December 16th, 11am
Neutra House (183 Hillview Ave., Los Altos CA 94022)
What is the Winter Festival? It’s a sharing session. Everyone is encouraged to share something: tell a story, read a poem, show a picture, do a song, a skit, a joke, a show-and-tell, something you made, a group game, anything you think others might appreciate. And we’re a pretty appreciative bunch! It can relate to the winter season/solstice/holidays but it doesn’t have to. Keep it under five minutes if you can. The program begins at 11 a.m. and will be followed by a potluck lunch from 12:30-2:00 p.m. Please join us for either or both!
If you’d like to sign up to share something during the program and/or to bring something for the potluck, please use our contact form.

Evening Ethics Discussion and Food
Wednesday December 19th, 6:30pm
Paula and Ben’s home (RSVP for location details)
Ethical dilemmas from our daily lives will be the focus of the discussion. Bring ethical situations you personally face to the group for a hearty and thoughtful discussion. For instance, are you faced with an ethical choice and wonder what the right thing to do is? Does something you see in the media make you wince because you think it’s unethical? Did some person act in a way that received media attention because it was seen as very “moral” and it got you thinking about what you would do in the same situation? Bring it to the group and we’ll discuss it!
