Although success looks different for everyone, the tools for achieving it are the same. Why is it so hard for people to make positive, lasting changes in our lives? It’s because we’re trying to change the outer world, without changing our inner world. Our minds tend to repeat the same thoughts and behavior patterns of the past. When we refresh our minds and break free of those patterns, we find that we have the wisdom and ability to make the necessary changes to succeed. \*\*RSVP here : https://www.onlinemeditationevents.com/class/success-meditation/

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!!**

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc.. Our ultimate directions will be determined by class members as we evolve. I look forward to sharing and discovering with you. - Cynthia

She has exposed her legs in a biblical city, an act they deem forbidden, and their judgement will echo on through her adolescence. When our narrator finally admits to her mother that she is queer, her mother's response only intensifies a sense of shame: 'You exist too much,' she tells her daughter. Told in vignettes that flash between the U.S. and the Middle East--from New York to Jordan, Lebanon, and Palestine--Zaina Arafat's debut novel traces her protagonist's progress from blushing teen to sought-after DJ and aspiring writer.
