The Daily Bruin

As a part of our marketing class, we are surveying people about their interest levels in our product. The product is a rechargeable electric toothbrush made from recycled plastics. The heads of the toothbrushes are new, but made from recyclable materials.

Please take our survey if you would like a chance to win a $15 Dutch Bros gift card. We are hoping your answers will help shape some of the intangibles before we submit our product. Thank you all for your help.

Please contact Dylan Quist-Knopf (dquistknopf20@georgefox.edu) if you have any questions.

Did you miss the last “Companioning Our Shadow: Emotions & Relationships” course? If so, Michael Simmons is offering this course again via Zoom on Friday, Nov. 12, from 9 to 11 a.m. PST (noon to 2 p.m. EST).

Michael is a spiritual director, retreat facilitator, and serves on the leadership team with Companioning Center on the board of Deep Water, a local community that provides tools, processes, and sacred spaces for women and men to heal. He is a doctoral student at Portland Seminary and is an ordained elder in the Free Methodist Church.

Course info: Psychologist Carl Jung coined the term “shadow” to refer to the parts of ourselves we hide, repress, or deny. Robert Bly called the shadow “the long bag we drag behind us.” We place all that would cause us pain and conflict into the bag, but it still holds incredible power to transform our lives, relationships and communities.

This course will be a space to invite Christ to meet our hidden parts and deepen that process of healing. Join Michael as he explores and practices tools for companioning our shadow, particularly around our emotions and relationships.

The cost for attending the course is $39, and participants can register here.

If you have any questions, email Jessica Anders at janders@georgefox.edu.
