The Center for Life Experience (CFLE), 103C E. 27th St., is starting two new programs, one for divorced adults and one for foster children.
The CFLE Book Circle will begin a six-week series on the topic of divorce, from 5 to 6:15 p.m. Thursdays at the center, beginning Sept. 29 and running through Nov. 10. The group will not meet Thursday, Oct. 20.
Participants will be studying the book “Something Gained—7 Shifts to Be Stronger, Smarter & Happier After Divorce” by Deb Purdy. A $10 fee will cover the cost of the book.
Darian Schulte, CFLE’s executive director, said the group is for those who are newly divorced or have been divorced for a long while.
Schulte said the sessions will help those who “are ready to transform anger, blame, and regret into joy, acceptance, and personal power; embrace the gifts and losses of divorce; peacefully co-exist with one’s spouse; support their kids in healing and thriving after divorce, and develop plans for creating life the way they have always wanted it.”
Registration is limited to 10 individuals and is due by Monday, Sept. 19, by calling 785-259-6859 or emailing [email protected].
The second new program is “Fostering Connections,” a support group for children, ages 10 to 18, in the foster care system.
It will meet for six weeks, from 5 to 6:15 p.m. Mondays, beginning Sept. 19 and running through Oct. 24.
Schulte said the support group would allow foster kids and teens to “form connections and share their stories with other children in similar situations. Children will be able to learn from others, participate in different activities, and enjoy a safe space to share.”
Registration for the free program is due by Monday, Sept. 12, by calling 785-259-6859 or e-mailing [email protected].
