Power of Moms: Learning Circle

Okay I can't procrastinate it anymore I have been wanting to get started on this with the new year! Please comment to this post, or respond by email carlynewburn at gmail dot com. If you are the least bit interested and maybe we can really get this rolling by the end of Janurary. So with that if anyone has suggestions as to what night of the week or which week of the month would work the best. Feel free to let me know! I will have it at my house for sure Jan is going to be a PJ party it will be around 8pm for us to all be able to sneak away after the kiddos are put to bed. I will definitely have more details to come...Until then here is the general idea: pic - circle of faces.jpg
According to a recent study, "joining a meaningful group that meets just once a month produces the same happiness gain as doubling your income" (New York Times, David Brooks, March 29, 2010). A Learning Circle can make a huge difference in your life.  

What is a Power of Moms Learning Circle?  
  • part girls' night out (with a meaningful purpose - in addition to having a great time)
  • part book group (with a lot less pages to read...yep, you can complete the reading for each month in about 30 minutes)
  • part support group (we all need more opportunities to learn from, encourage, and even sometimes commiserate with other moms)
  • part motherhood course (because you deserve a monthly class to help you grow yourself, build your fellow mothers, and shape the future that starts right in your own home)
A Learning Circle involves 5-12 mothers who gather each month for great conversation centered on an important motherhood topic (click here to check out the topics).
  • step-by-step instructions to start up a very fun and effective group
  • brief articles, great discussion questions and simple assignments to go with each month's topic
