Zoom Sessions:

Due to special programs on Nov. 6, 2021, and March 19, 2022, there are no individual meetings of directors and directees on those Saturdays.  But so that you don’t break the momentum of the retreat, with a 4-week gap between sessions, directors and directees should meet on your own time by Zoom (or FaceTime or other video conferencing) on any day close to Nov. and March 19, respectively.
