More Information
Mother-daughter relationships are complex and they impact us our entire lives. We’re inviting you to a common read about this relationship and we look forward to discussing You’re Wearing That?: Understanding Mothers and Daughters in Conversation by Deborah Tannen
“Tannen analyzes and decodes scores of conversations between moms and daughters. These exchanges are so real they can make you squirm as you relive the last fraught conversation you had with your own mother or daughter. But Tannen doesn’t just point out the pitfalls of the mother-daughter relationship, she also provides guidance for changing the conversations (or the way that we feel about the conversations) before they degenerate into what Tannen calls a mutually aggravating spiral, a “self-perpetuating cycle of escalating responses that become provocations.” – The San Francisco Chronicle
This book is available in multiple formats from many sources, including the library. The goal is for all of us to read it prior to the mini retreat

Our lower, main parking lot is also off SE 32nd Street. There are stairs that will lead you up to the Sanctuary. If that lot is full, there is also street parking on 32nd Street.
