What happens at Alpha?
We come together over light fare. Afterward there is a video presentation on the topic of the day.
​
After each video there is a small group time for everyone to discuss any questions or issues they have. This provides an opportunity to get to know each other and learn together.
​
Alpha is a judgement-free space where you can ask questions and share your opinion.​​
