I haven't found any other DC programs here. It's not as intense in the meetings as it in the book, and I didn't experience any attempts to recruit me to their church when I was there.
Phoebe, if you are looking for a creative outlet to take your mind off your worries for a while, drawing and painting has been wonderful for me. It requires you to look and observe more intensely than you've ever done before, and stay quiet and concentrated, in order to depict what you see. It's also a fun process to become familiar with the materials - working hard at playing. Proper materials are important to get good results - although I've seen a wonderful painting where the artist used sticks instead of brushes (it was a bet).
It's the creative process just as much as the result that is so rewarding. And the supportive environment; wonderful people who share freely.
I focus on landscapes and more recently, portraits. Sometimes I do stuff that I'm surprised over myself. I guess I'm starting to get a little skill.
