January Program Recap
 
 
Finding your Bones - Finding your Resiliency

Thank you Ann and Jen...such a wonderful program

 
On January 29, 34 fortunate women heard Ann Clancy and Jen Freeman present "Finding your Bones - Finding your Resiliency".   They used 'bones' metaphorically as our tools for positive change that help us each find our resiliency.   This involves using our own inner sense of rightness as our compass - shifting from external to internal yardsticks in decision making and unfolding toward our true nature (not one of 'wearing other people's faces" - Poet May Sarton).  

Finding our own inner rightness involves exploration of our beliefs, the filters we utilize as we interpret life.  Our deepest ones are unconscious.  As we explore, changes are likely.  Those changes lead to deep shifts as our beliefs determine how we engage in life.

When life is seen as a journey of discovery, then we learn to deal more gracefully with the setbacks, the mistakes, and the roadblocks in our life.   Obstacles are seen as life's way to teach us about ourselves and about the world.   We embrace the possibility that we played a part in creating the problem, and inquire what we can learn to grow from it.  

Growth can be transformational, can be anticipated, but fundamentally cannot be planned. What we are curious about forms the foundation for how we take action in creating our future.

This quote summarizes a great deal of the theme of the program.   Look to ourselves, find our strengths, be curious and be a learner, avoid being a judger because:  
 
We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are.
- Anais Nin

Peer Groups

Peer Groups are facilitated groups composed of 8-12 TTN members. A safe and supportive environment provides members a place for thought-provoking and stimulating conversations relating to transition to help members reflect on their lives - past, present and future.

Billings TTN now has 5 active groups.  

If you are interested in becoming part of a group or have questions, contact Marti Miller at montanamarti@gmail.com

Community Outreach
Outreach Makes A  
Difference

TTN women want to stay involved. They are using their skills to positively impact their own communities on a variety of levels. And they are changing the way organizations think of volunteers.  No longer satisfied to just stuff envelopes, our members are directing resources, raising money and finding gratification in "giving back." 

One way we can "give back" is by making donations to local non-profits.  In conjunction with our quarterly program we will highlight one organization which donations will be taken to. We will provide a list of items that the organization is in need of and ask that you consider a gift when joining us at the program.
