Life, relationships, and work would go

more smoothly if we knew how to practice communicating consciously. In

this highly regarded course, we will work through the emotional blocks

that keep you on autopilot, frustrated and far from connection.

From Tara Packer:
During my 20+ years in creative industries and recruiting, I witnessed too many uncomfortable situations

for both employers and employees that could have been circumvented. A shift needed to happen, and I wanted to be of greater service to both,so I began coaching. My work utilizes a combination of tools with a somatic approach which helps people work through emotional and trauma reprocessing.

When people experience emotional regulation (aka CALM), they can access their best cognitive functioning and overall health, moving from surviving to thriving. My one-to-oneclients have experienced freedom from lifelong phobias, pain, anxiety,
trauma and burnout. They are living what they once referred to as only a possibility. It is my greatest pleasure to facilitate and be part of their process, to witness their transformation and joy. I have studied in multiple holistic disciplines including EFT, TFT, NLP, IFS

There, they encounter a series of fantastical characters and wild adventures as they seek the elusive El Oz to help them return to their home.

There is no excuse to say we did not know…we cannot turn a blind eye…we cannot fall back on a lack of knowing, as was done in WWII. The world is watching the terror of war unfold upon the Ukrainian people and the destruction of Ukrainian Cultural Heritage continue on a daily basis. Join us in learning about the seven UNESCO World Heritage sites that exist in the Ukraine. We will discuss their importance and what is jeopardized by this Russian invasion. We will look at what has been destroyed, what is being documented and what is being done by the art world to assist in preserving the Ukrainian Culture at this moment.

Ventura County Sheriff Bill Ayub, head Public Defender Claudia Bautista and the county's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer, Phin Xaypangna, will be among the speakers at an online Community Forum titled Public Safety and Local Police Reform on Thursday, May 19 at 7 p.m. via Zoom.

Also participating will be Vanessa Valdez, President of the Ventura County Latinx Bar Association. The forum will be moderated by Cynthia Salas, President of the Santa Paula Latino Town Hall.

The forum will serve as a progress report on actions that the county has taken to enhance public safety and racial equity in its workforce, programs and services, focusing on local police reforms, and what more might be needed.

Last year, the county established the Public Safety Racial Equity Advisory Group. Xaypangna will report on the formation and mission of that group, and Public Defender Bautista, who is the advisory group's co-chair, will speak about its progress and future plans.

Sheriff Ayub will discuss local police reform efforts and Valdez will talk about experiences and perceptions from the community. Spanish interpretation of the program will be available.

Links in English and Spanish to register for the online forum are available at forum.chaliceuu.org. The forum, a program of Chalice Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of the Conejo Valley, is free; donations are welcome to support future events.

For information, visit the Community Forum website or contact Randall Edwards via e-mail at forum@chaliceuu.org or by phone through the church office at (805) 498-9548.
