SUMMARY:WOW: Self-Care as a Faith Practice 
DESCRIPTION:Dates: September 23 – September 30 – October 7 – October 14\nTime: 6:30 – 8:00 p.m.\nLocation: Oak Room \nWhat would change if you gave yourself the same care you give everyone else? Led by Jaime Polson and Courtney Anderson (Sage of Coaching)\, Self-Care as a Faith Practice is a four-week women’s series that takes a fresh look at what it truly means to care for yourself through the lens of faith\, community\, and practical wisdom. Each week you will gather with a group of women for an experience that is interactive\, reflective\, and grounded in scripture. You will build new connections\, gain real insight\, and leave each session with something meaningful to carry into your everyday life.\n \nWeek 1\, September 23: What Is Self-Care?   \nSomething new is starting this Wednesday\, and it might just shift the way you think about what it means to show up for yourself. Join us at 6:30 PM for the first session of Self-Care as a Faith Practice\, a four-week WOW series designed to challenge\, connect\, and restore. You don’t need to prepare. Just come. \nWeek 2\, September 30: Depletion\nWe all know what it feels like to run on empty. This Wednesday at 6:30 PM we finally give that feeling a name\, and in doing so\, begin to understand it in a whole new way. Self-Care as a Faith Practice continues and this may be the most important conversation you have all week.  \nWeek 3\, October 7: Restoration\nThis Wednesday is unlike any session we have had so far. Join us at 6:30 PM as Self-Care as a Faith Practice turns toward restoration\, and we explore together what it truly means to be renewed from the inside out\, through an experience that is slower\, deeper\, and more personal than you may expect. Come with an open heart and give yourself permission to simply receive.  \n\nWeek 4\, October 14: Sustainability   \nFour weeks ago\, we asked a question. This Wednesday at 6:30 PM we answer it with something personal\, something practical\, and something you will carry long after you leave. Don’t miss the final session of Self-Care as a Faith Practice.  \nFor questions\, contact Shelli Brudzinski. \n\n\nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Guardrails for Kids and AI: A Three Session Parent Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Three Tuesday nights with Jeff Eyet\, UC Berkeley lecturer and co-founder of the Berkeley Innovation Group. \nDates: October 6\, 13 and 20\nTime: 6:30 – 8:00 p.m.\nLocation: LOPC\, 49 Knox Drive\, Lafayette\, CA 94549 \nAI Parenting Workshop Series Overview \nYour teenager is already using AI. The question is whether they’re calling the shots or just accepting the first response they get. \nResearchers at the University of Pennsylvania ran a study with nearly a thousand high school math students\, published last year in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. One group got open access to ChatGPT during practice. Their practice scores jumped 48 percent. Then the tool was taken away for the exam\, and that same group scored 17 percent worse than the students who never touched it. A second group used a version built with safeguards. They came out even with the students who never used AI at all. \nSame tool. Same kids. Different result\, based on how it got used. And here’s the part that got me: neither group could tell. The kids who did worse didn’t think they’d learned less. The kids who broke even thought they’d done better. \nTry this at dinner tonight. Ask your kid what the AI got wrong\, and how they caught it. If the answer is “nothing\,” nobody’s checking. That’s the whole problem in one question\, and we spend three weeks on it.\nEach workshop stands on its own and is limited to 50 attendees. Come to one or come to all three. \nOct 6. The homework looks better. That doesn’t mean they learned it. How to tell the difference\, and what to ask when you can’t. That study was math\, where an answer is right or wrong. Nobody’s run it on essays yet\, and essays are where most of our kids are using this. \nOct 13. When everybody uses the same tool\, everybody’s work starts to look the same. So\, what still makes your kid stand out? We’ll also get into agents\, which are AI tools that go do things instead of just answering.  It’s a different conversation when the AI can take actions on your behalf. \nOct 20. What to actually do about it at home. The guardrails in that Penn study were built into the software by researchers. You can’t install those. But you can set rules that work the same way. That’s this night. Specific rules\, by age\, that you can hold to on a school night. \nOn ages. Middle school and high school aren’t the same conversation. A 7th grader mostly shouldn’t be leaning on this stuff yet. A high school senior’s admissions essays are being read by admissions officers who can tell. Every night splits time between both\, and there’s time at the end for questions about your child’s situation specifically. \nThe format is short talks paired with table discussions. Bring your questions and an open mind. \nRegister Here\nFor questions\, contact Shelli Brudzinski.

SUMMARY:Guardrails for Kids and AI: A Three Session Parent Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Three Tuesday nights with Jeff Eyet\, UC Berkeley lecturer and co-founder of the Berkeley Innovation Group. \nDates: October 6\, 13 and 20\nTime: 6:30 – 8:00 p.m.\nLocation: LOPC\, 49 Knox Drive\, Lafayette\, CA 94549 \nAI Parenting Workshop Series Overview \nYour teenager is already using AI. The question is whether they’re calling the shots or just accepting the first response they get. \nResearchers at the University of Pennsylvania ran a study with nearly a thousand high school math students\, published last year in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. One group got open access to ChatGPT during practice. Their practice scores jumped 48 percent. Then the tool was taken away for the exam\, and that same group scored 17 percent worse than the students who never touched it. A second group used a version built with safeguards.

What to actually do about it at home. The guardrails in that Penn study were built into the software by researchers. You can’t install those. But you can set rules that work the same way. That’s this night. Specific rules\, by age\, that you can hold to on a school night. \nOn ages. Middle school and high school aren’t the same conversation. A 7th grader mostly shouldn’t be leaning on this stuff yet. A high school senior’s admissions essays are being read by admissions officers who can tell. Every night splits time between both\, and there’s time at the end for questions about your child’s situation specifically. \nThe format is short talks paired with table discussions.
