I posted this in the events forum, but I hope it's ok to spread the word here, too.

Is this a religious based program, or strictly science/medicine based education? And what is the UUs on 14th?
Mahalo,

Hi Carol,
No, it is not religious, it is an evidence based self- management education and support program coming out of Stanford university. We are holding it in the Unitarian Universalist fellowship hall.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
