Free learning opportunities, provided in collaboration by Hospice of the Northwest, United General District 304, and The Landing: A Healing Place for Kids, are a good place to ask questions and start talking. On the Path discussions are open to anyone age 16+ and registration is required. See the full schedule and sign up here.
