SUMMARY:The Sorting Space
DESCRIPTION:This event is now full\, please email info@thevillagechicago.org to join the waitlist. Thank you. \nThis monthly group creates a supportive community where we can talk openly about our challenges with “stuff”. \nNavigating your “stuff” can feel overwhelming\, but you don’t have to do it alone. Through discussion\, shared experiences\, and a peer accountability system you’ll gain the encouragement and motivation to take meaningful steps toward simplifying your home. It’s also a place to share ideas and learn about helpful resources along the way. \nWhether you’re actively planning a future move\, just want to get your home in order\, or simply desire a less cluttered life\, this group meets you where you are. Without pressure or judgement\, The Sorting Space provides community\, guidance\, and one manageable step at a time. \nThis group might be a perfect fit for you if… \nYou look around areas of your home and think\, “I really need to deal with all this…”\nYou want to be prepared “just in case” for yourself or your family.\nYour past decluttering efforts have stalled without accountability.\nYou’re thinking about downsizing or moving\, whether in a couple years or “someday.”\nDecisions about belongings feel emotionally complicated or overwhelming. \nWhat you’ll gain: \nA clear\, manageable path forward \nBy breaking the process down into manageable steps\, an overwhelming project becomes achievable. You’ll learn to take things one room\, category\, and decision at a time\, to build momentum without burning out. \nMethods for thoughtful decision making\nWe’ll explore practical frameworks for deciding what to keep\, donate\, sell\, or pass along to loved ones\, so you can move forward with confidence\, not regret. \nCommunity and Accountability\nPeer accountability makes all the difference. Group members will set monthly intentions\, share progress\, and cheer each other on. Tackling challenges and celebrating successes together can even make the process fun! Knowing others are doing the work alongside you provides solidarity\, motivation\, and encouragement to keep going. \nEmotional support\nOur belongings can carry all sorts of memories\, grief\, or feel like a part of our identity. The Sorting Space is a safe place to honor those feelings while continuing to make progress alongside others who truly understand.\nProfessional Guidance \nEach session features professional insights and real-world strategies for navigating family conversations\, logistical snags\, or mental blocks that are keeping you from reaching your goals. \nAbout our Facilitator \nMarnie Dawson is the owner of Dawson Relocation Services serving the Chicagoland area. Her small but mighty team has been helping seniors and their families with the downsizing and moving process since 2008. She is an active member of the National Association of Senior Move Managers (NASMM) and she is a board member of the Illinois Continuity of Care Organization.
