EVENTS CALENDAR
I would love to visit with your group online or in person. I’m available for readings, talks, panel discussions, and mini-workshops for book clubs, community groups, senior living communities, professional groups, writing classes, and lifelong learning programs. I enjoy speaking about the challenges and pleasures of growing old, health and well-being as we age, my experience of prolonged grief in midlife, and how to go about writing truthful, effective personal narratives.

Following Shabbat morning services, all are welcome to join an important conversation, whether or not you plan to attend services.
