After a fun Dance Week series, we will continue with Wed morning Biodanza celebrations on Zoom. During "Sheltering in Place," we started meeting via Zoom and appreciated the level of heartfelt connection we were able to maintain via this medium. Here is an opportunity for a mid-week morning class! Biodanza is a globally practiced authentic movement journey that opens our hearts to all of life, cultivates vitality, and nurtures deep peace with ourselves, each other, and the world. No prior dance experience needed! http://www.biodanzawithbabsi.com http://www.facebook.com/BiodanzawithBabsi These Wed morning sessions are on a donation basis (sliding scale). Feel free to inquiry about details.

If you are a non-technical person with an idea for an app, you’re probably looking for a technical co-founder to help you build the app. However, you can launch a tech startup by outsourcing code! In the early days of your startup it can be challenging to attract a technical co-founder to build your app. But by knowing how to efficiently outsource the building of your MVP and gain some traction, you can de-risk the opportunity for the tech person and change the conversation from "I Need You" to "Here's an Opportunity". In this webinar, the speaker will discuss the best way to outsource the development of your app, including: 1) Why outsourcing may be the best way to find a technical co-founder 2) Outsourcing best practices 3) How not get ripped off in the process and more!

**Welcome to the Parental Alienation Anonymous community.** **Please go to our website [pa-a.org](https://parentalalienationanonymous.com/contact/) and sign and fill in the [contact page](https://parentalalienationanonymous.com/contact/). You will receive an automated email immediately, please check your spam if you don’t see the email. It will contain all meeting times and links as well as a link to community resources, PDFs about our support groups and other valuable information.** **If you are new to our community you are welcome at any meeting. The topics vary and we suggest trying several meetings to find the ones that resonate with you. [We have 14 meetings a week all on zoom](https://parentalalienationanonymous.com/meeting-schedule/). The community is incredibly robust and includes folks from all over the world.** **[PA-A is a support group](https://parentalalienationanonymous.com/what-is-a-12-step-meeting/) for people struggling with varying degrees of alienation, estrangement and erasure from their children, grandchildren, parents and other members of their extended family. This also includes previously alienated children. Meetings usually have 20-40 people attending. You can choose to have your camera on or off and participate or just listen.** **PA-A is designed to support people in different phases of the alienation continuum, from those with absolutely no contact, to partial contact and to members who have reestablished regular contact. We are all struggling in unique ways. Our individual struggles all have common intersections, and it is this that brings us together to start the healing process.** **We are a [12-step](https://parentalalienationanonymous.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/PA-A-Newcomer-Booklet.pdf) community. What this means is we are recovery based. We concentrate on working on solutions to our emotional, spiritual and physical challenges that arise out of alienation and all of our relationships. There are a lot of facebook groups and other resources out there. We differ considerably as we have a framework (Allanon) that has worked for over 70 years for people struggling with all sorts of interpersonal relationships. We have adapted this program for alienation.** **The meetings have structure, a leader and a secretary that maintain safety and consistency. We use a timer so no one person can dominate a meeting. We also share in a way that supports and uplifts our community. This is really useful if you feel stuck, hopeless and alone. It keeps us out of the spiral of alienation and gives us a way out.** **Some people think once their alienated child or family member is back in their lives that reconnection will be a relatively smooth process, but the reality is that recovery is a lifelong journey. As PA-A grows in numbers and strength, we will learn how to heal and thrive as a community. Some of the greatest support I receive is in my daily integration of rebuilding a relationship with one of my daughters.** **We as a community have had so many success stories of people reuniting and more importantly seeing people in early stages that have some contact with their loved ones deepen and heal before full on alienation sets in.** **Please send any questions to [parentalalienationanonymous@gmail.com](mailto:parentalalienationanonymous@gmail.com)** **Welcome and we hope to see you in the rooms!!**

Ask questions and share your concerns in a supportive space. Whether you are a parent, or just beginning to consider having a child, you are welcome, and owe it to yourself and your child to be here.

I'm starting my 3rd year as Speakeasy Toastmaster club member. With all sincerity I can say, I wish I had joined a Toastmasters club years ago. It has been great for my career. It has also been a great way to make new friends meet people and network. If you don't already know there are lots of Toastmasters clubs, find one that is right for you. (It's probably Speakeasy, so you should probably just come here first) Contact me for more information about Toastmasters & Speakeasy. Hope to see you Wednesday. Please note there will be no Meeting on August 7th. That is the night of our annual summer BBQ. Regards. Preston

There are 8 meetings during the week with slightly different topics and people at each meeting. This is a PARENTAL ALIENATION 12 STEP support group meeting. If you feel like you are always explaining your alienation story, if you fell that close family and friends don't really get it, if you are looking for a safe place to have a shared reality with other folk struggling and if you are looking for tools to support and resource yourself this is a great meeting for you. The meetings over the last several months have been transformative for me. I have friends now that understand what I am going through and there is no need to explain my vocabulary. There is someone that is or has gone through the same thing as me. I am not isolating as much and feel resourced to show up in my life to a degree I haven't felt in along time. If you are new to support group meetings I will give you a 2 minute narrative of what to expect. We meet on zoom with or without a camera on. It is suggested to have your camera on. There is a meeting leader and secretary that run the meeting. The leader reads an intro and then shares on PA or a related topic for 3-5 minutes. After that there is a quick secretary report and then the meetings is opened for all to share. Some folks share, some folks just listen, there is no wrong or right way. These are closed (alienated folks only) meeting for parents, step parents, grand parents, uncles, aunts and any other family or friends struggling with any form of alienation. Please message me with any questions parentalalienationanonymous@gmail.com or go to pa-a.org to register for a weekly email with meeting times, locations and links. This will save you having to check your meetup inbox for a link. I suggest coming 10minutes early to hang out informally before the meeting starts. It a great time to connect and hopefully chuckle a couple of times. Hope to see you at a meeting.
