Open to Jewish and non-Jewish women with 50 or More Years of Life Experience. Join us for stimulating, structured, and confidential discussions on topics about self-care, personal reflection, relationships, mentoring others, and sharing the wisdom we have gained through our life experiences.

She has granted us permission to use the materials and topics she has developed. The group will be facilitated by Har Shalom member, Ginny Riley, who has participated in the Wise Women sessions in Loveland.
