“Now What?”

Service Description:

“Now What?” – Deborah Weiner

The election is over, and for most of us, we’re trying to figure out the big and small questions of life: what happens now, how does the outcome affect our lives, and what does the future hold? There are also more immediate questions: for those gathering around a communal table for the Thanksgiving holiday, how do we have conversations, knowing that about half of the US population voted for the other person?  And more than that, what might some other psychologists, writers and linguists offer us in terms of understanding where we are, and where we’re headed? Come and join the conversation in a community of friends!
