Courses conducted by Chris G'Froerer are described including stress management, meditation, speed counselling and the skills taught. There is also commentary on participants, their socio-economic status and the importance of the assistance given to them. Courses undertaken by Ms G'Froerer, including cooking, mandala making, Chinese brush painting and intuitive journaling are also discussed. The interview also discusses changes to The Meeting Place, including its change of focus from an autonomous community-based facility, providing services at affordable rates, to one influenced by business practice and costs, resulting in increased fees for courses, fewer participants and therefore fewer viable courses.
