No rules, just writing!
Each month a member of the group will bring an article for discussion.
Participants also have the option to bring two pages of their own writing to read aloud, but it’s not required. If you’d like to read your own writing, please bring it in manuscript format.

In this informal, free meetup we create awareness and harmony between the mind and body that allows us to remove stress and anxiety. We use our breath to move deeper into our body while warming, lengthening, and strengthening our muscles.
All you need is a yoga mat and a water bottle. Some yoga tools such as blocks, a blanket and a strap are encouraged.
This program is produced by the Foreign Policy Association, whose mission is to foster public awareness, understanding, and informed discussion of U.S. foreign policy and global issues
Our local discussion series is co-sponsored by the League of Women Voters of La Plata County, the Durango Branch of the American Association of University Women, and the Durango Public Library. From the second week of February through the second week of May, participants meet every other Tuesday from 11:45 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. at the Durango Public Library, 1900 E. Third Avenue.
Each session begins with a professionally produced video and brief lecture from the Foreign Policy Association, followed by a lively 90-minute discussion led by volunteer facilitators from our community. An accompanying Great Decisions briefing book is available for purchase from the Foreign Policy Association, and a reference copy may be consulted at the Durango Public Library Reference Desk.
All discussions are free and open to the public. More details and full descriptions of each topic at www.gddurango.org
