COURSE PROCESS:
Courses consist of 8 to 12 people who meet weekly for 60 to 90 minutes to discuss readings from a course book. Course books contain a diverse collection of short essays, articles, and book excerpts organized around weekly themes to create lively discussion. Discussion questions and suggested meeting format are included as well. Each meeting consists of two parts: an opening and a facilitated discussion. The first session is led by an experienced NWEI volunteer. Remaining meetings are facilitated by members of the group on a rotating basis.
Course books are $16 each and can be shared by partners who live together.
This structured, yet non-didactic format encourages a process which:
• Establishes trust, respect, and a sense of community among group members.
• Allows participants to seek personal clarity without group consensus.
• Creates a supportive environment for personal change.
