“Looking Back, Looking Forward: What’s Important to You?” 1 p.m. at Conant Hall.

Life brings us many changes, some joyful, some challenging. This discussion group led by Family Services of Westchester offers a safe, welcoming space to reflect on where you have been, what you have learned, and what is important to you moving forward. Whether you have experienced loss, loneliness, or just want a place to connect and talk openly, this group invites honest conversation, meaningful stories, and shared support. Join us for thoughtful discussion, personal reflection, and connection with others walking a similar path. This pilot session in Pound Ridge will continue monthly based on interest.
