Study Group Bulletin Board
The Study Group Bulletin Board is a central place on the web to find out about analytic study groups or consultation groups meeting throughout the Bay Area.
There are four main types of postings:
1) Newly forming facilitator-led groups
2) Existing facilitator-led groups with openings
3) Newly forming peer groups or individuals hoping to find others with whom to consult
4) Existing peer groups with openings
Groups are listed geographically below with brief descriptions. Some groups involve case consultation only, some involve readings, and some involve both.
We recognize that the right match is essential in groups. The groups that the Bulletin Board promotes are entirely private undertakings.
Groups and facilitators reserve the right to decide if those that contact them are an appropriate fit for their group.
Related, the Study Group Bulletin Board makes no guarantees to those who submit a group for posting that the group will fill.
Please note that groups are not vetted by or endorsed by SFCP or the Friends.
