Meets monthly via Zoom

The Book for January: Sharon Salzberg’s Real Change: Mindfulness to Heal Ourselves and the World

We will meet one time a month via Zoom to have conversation about books from a variety of perspectives and genres while noticing how the theme might connect to faith in daily life. Occasionally, we will have an opportunity to speak with the author.  Most of the books have been published in the last twelve months. Some are only available for pre-order.
