Undiscussables group. This will be a closed group inviting members to create deeper connections with each other to explore the many
topics we find it hard to talk about with others. Rebecca will share information and techniques that can support and connect us as we
age.

The group will be limited in size and meet monthly with encouragement to connect with each other between meetings.
