the week to talk about my shit and hear about the common humanity. This
is a place to talk about the real and hard stuff and to show up for
others."
Laurie Dolan

introduced me to it, and gratitude for the other women who participated
in the group."
"I didn't think I was going to like it as much as I do.""
"It’s been a pleasant surprise. The group that I’m in has a really great

to expand outside of my usual friendships. It’s really refreshing."

less alone in my experience, and supported. To someone in my situation
who was considering Pace, I’d simply say: DO IT”

following the meetings, I felt energized and more productive, like I

everyone was in the first session."

medicine.”

nice to have a group that understands what i'm going through and is
talking about deeply personal shit from day one."
Marge Hudson
"I'm a secret introvert and was afraid I'd keep my guard up and not
share. But, as folks started to be vulnerable, it made me want to share,
and at the end of 90 minutes, I thought, 'That was really fun!'"
"I am grateful for their willingness to show up week after week, with
the good, the bad and the ugly...because I think that that's where the
strength was derived. I am grateful for the peacefulness and the lessons
that I have gotten so far. And I want to keep going."

appreciation, and respect that allowed us to shepherd each other through
tough situations.”

another and the therapist is like a conductor."

and being in this group has been transformative."

"Pace is a group of random people that I've grown very fond of who, for
some inexplicable reason, like listening to me talk about things I'm
worried about."
