Winter Series of Groups & Workshops

WORKSHOPS:

1. Assertiveness Training. Learn positive ways to stand up for personal rights and express your needs and felings without violating the rights of others. Emphasis will be on the particular problems women have with assertion. We will assess our current behaviors and feelings in this area. Then the focus will be on changing behavior toward communication which is neither hostile nor submissive. There will be opportunities for practicing new behaviors in situations like those we encounter at home, at work, at social gatherings. Saturday and Sunday, March 11 and 12, 1978, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

2. Where Did the Day Go? Does the day ever seem to slip away without your feeling you accomplished what you wanted to? Have you ever felt there was so much to do you didn't know how you could do it all in one day? This workshop is an exploration of ways to use your time and your physical and emotional energy to accomplish your goals. We intend this workshop to be primarily for women who are homemakers. Saturday, February 4, 1978, 9:30a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

3. Disunity Among Women. The women's liberation movement has been labeled a largely middleclass phenomenon. Working class women are not generally viewed as supportive or involved in it. 1. Are working class and middle class women really at odds with each other? 2. If so, what is keeping.middle class and working class women from working together?

This workshop is designed to address these questions and to (a) provide a better understanding of the experience of growing up working class and middle class in this society; (b) identify misunderstandings and behaviors which separate and, thus, hurt women; (c) develop strategies to increase unity among women of differing classes. Each participant will be expected to be highly involved in this workshop--sharing experiences, feelings, thinking. Saturday, March 18, 1978, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. 3327 Yorkshire Road, Cleveland Heights.

GROUPS:

.1. Personal Growth Group. An. opportunity to share, in a supportive environment, experiences, problems, and the special dimension of womanness. Each woman will be encouraged to identify her strengths and goals, and to use the group to do her own personal growing in the areas she chooses. First session: Sunday, February 19, 1 to 5 p.m., then meting for 5 consecutive Monday evenings beginning February 27, 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

2. The Frustrations and Satisfactions of Being A Homemaker. A support group for women whose work is in the home. An opportunity each week to think about yourself and discuss with other women the satisfactions and frustrations that go with the job of homemaking.. A chance to identify and learn to get your needs met as you fulfill your job within the home. 6 Thursday mornings beginning February 16, 9:30 to 11:30. Child care will be arranged if needed and we are notified at the time of group registration.

3. Out of the Closet: A Group for Lesbian Women. This group is for lesbian women who are in the process of trying to be more open with themselves, friends, family, coworkers, and/or trying to establish a sense of "community" with other lesbian and feminist women. We will work on creating "rites of passage" in making these transitions. This group will begin in mid-January when we have enough members. Only a few more are needed, so Hurry!

4. Consciousness Raising: An Introduction to Ideas of the Women's Movement. Drawing on our experiences as women, we will examine specific themes such as marriage, love, old age, money, sexuality. Each week will include a time for personal sharing and some structured experiences to help us learn about basic ideas of feminism. First session: Saturday, March 4, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., then meeting for 4 consecutive Tuesday evenings beginning March 7, 7:30 to 9:30.
