Our program will be interesting and very helpful not only for newcomers but also for those who have lived in Russia for a while and are eager to find answers to many questions about our mysterious Russian soul.

Our main speaker will be Lena Touchmacheva (Kolikova).  She has been doing different kinds of programs for IWC members and their families for more than 25 years.

Each topic will be covered in 4 meetings, with each meeting as an independent and complete lecture or activity on its own.
