Interest Groups with a dollop of Oops. Ouch WHOAAAAA training.

RantWoman did not get an Interest Group Proposal submitted by the deadline so look out world. LAST YEAR it was possible to see the interest group schedule as it developed so one could try not to schedule one's group in conflict with others one might wish to attend. RantWoman finds this year's submit blind process vexing.

That said, RantWoman is posting the interest group invitation as an artifact. RantWoman also opted to leave in some mental clutter that collected in the draft.. 


PS Worship Group leaders also get to do Oops Ouch Whoa. RantWoman finds this reassuring and also challenging.


Interest Groups

Time is set aside in our program for opportunities to share and learn, to go deeper with a smaller group than plenaries may allow, or to meet with those who share a special concern, or who need an alternative to the more general program. We encourage Friends to propose and to attend these Interest Groups as a chance for spiritual growth and building friendships. A list of scheduled Interest Groups with brief descriptions will appear on this page as Groups are proposed.


This year, Interest Groups will be either (1) in-person only, for Friends gathered in Monmouth, or (2) on-line only, or (3) hybrid, open to both Friends gathered in person and those who join via web conferencing. The description for each interest group will specify its format.


Unlike prior years, registration for Interest Groups will be available as Annual Session grows closer, rather than as part of Friends' initial Annual Session registrations. More information coming soon.


If you would like to lead an Interest Group,  simply fill and submit the Interest Group Submission form before the June 22nd deadline.


Every interest group leader is required to virtually attend one of the free pre-session Ouch-Whoa-Oops trainings.








There.


RantWoman will now resume reading a presumably satirical Twitter account called the Ukrainian Ministry of Accidental Russian Fires about how many hectares of forest fires are just being allowed to burn in different Siberian Oblasts.


If that does not wipe away the anxiety, a word about Marjorie Taylor Greene and words from here.


First the observation: RantWoman considers it a sign of Democratic Party contempt that #MTG did not have any Democratic opponent.


Now, according to MTG Transgender people are coming for all the tampons


Oh, and #LaurenBoebert, NO THEY'RE NOT Trans people are NOT coming for your or anyone else's children
