Roni Beth Tower, author of the memoir, Miracle at Midlife: A Transatlantic Romance and a retired clinical, research and academic psychologist, leads a discussion about love, loving, and what it may take to transform your life mid-stream.
During her workshop, she will briefly describe her own story and then explore issues relating to how we experience love, how we express love, challenges and changes in mid-life, and long-distance relationships, according to the interests of participants.  This workshop promises to be an interesting discussion for all those in attendance who may have similar experiences in their lives.  In any case, there will be lots to talk about.
