 This five-week course breaking down the overwhelm of decluttering and organizing for a life that fits after 50.

Jennifer Raphel  says, “Clutter is more than the stuff on the floor. It’s the stress we feel from visual overload, objects personifying memories that no longer uplift us, & saying yes when we’d rather say no.”

This is a safe space to learn and ask your questions. Let’s make this an interactive, collaborative experience.  Instructor: Jennifer Raphael
