DCC will be having an amazing fun-raiser for Hope Solutions. This will be a Mardi Gras party complete with a jazz band (sponsored by the Feltons and Kennedy/McGraths) and complementary food provided by Carol Gilliland of A Loveable Feast! The event is fun with a purpose as this will also be an opportunity to hear the great work Hope Solutions is doing in Contra Costa County.
As most of you know, Hope Solutions (previously Contra Costa Interfaith Housing, CCIH), provides permanent, supportive housing for the most vulnerable in our very community. And, as we all know, the cost of housing is at an all time high, which is causing an increase in those unhoused. At the fun-raiser, you will learn how Hope Solutions is taking a very unique path to help solve this problem, one house at a time! Plus, dance and eat and have a blast! Mark your calendars now!
All are welcome – childcare will be provided and you don’t have to attend DCC to come!
DCC is co-sponsoring a Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) Training held over nine Saturdays September through November, hosted by First Congregational Church of Berkeley. MSC is a curriculum developed by Kristin Neff, PhD (UT Austin) and Christopher Germer, PhD (Harvard) that teaches self-kindness, mindful awareness, and common humanity. MSC builds on the natural compassion inside each of us that deepens with practice. Empirical research finds eight weeks of MSC practice:
