HOBBLING IS HUMBLING ---a questioning of personal identity beliefs as a
means to develop genuine compassion for ourselves. Our speaker Barbara

educational innovations that focus on children’s brain development. She

“Concentrate on what you do well and not regret what physical disability
interferes with.” Barbara Reinhart is a gifted therapist and teacher and
was a member of this fellowship. She is a longtime Unitarian (with
Buddhist ways). Penny Hendricks will moderate.
