SUMMARY:*Registration Required* Writing Life Stories: Trying New Approaches
DESCRIPTION:Why join a writing group? Maybe you’ve been trying to make sense of the confusing event in your past or a puzzling family member. Maybe you want to write down and self-publish family stories to share with family and friends. Maybe writing stretches your brain and you like the feeling. Our general process will be to use an idea or prompt that inspires us to write for 10 to 15 minutes\, followed by reading aloud to the group (you’ll have an option to pass). All levels of experience are welcome. Please commit to all four sessions. Facilitated by Suzanne K. \nMeets in person at the church from 10 a.m. to noon on Mondays\, January 12 and 26\, and February 9 and 23. \nAdditional details will be shared once you register here: https://forms.gle/DfGe51BeFoxf5Qcz8

SUMMARY:Loving Kindness Meditation
DESCRIPTION:The teachings of Loving Kindness\, or Metta\, are about finding a path with heart. Jack Kornfield says\, “It’s about undertaking a path that transforms and touches us in the center of our being. To do so is to find a way of practice that allows us to live in the world wholly and fully from our heart.” \nWith this Spiritual Practice\, one can cultivate feelings of happiness\, dispel loneliness\,  let go of fear and anxiety. If you are feeling stuck\, this practice can help you enjoy a more compassionate life for yourself and others. \nJoin us on Zoom on Monday evenings to extend Loving-Kindness to yourself\, to those around you and to the world. \nNo previous meditation practice is necessary\, and new participants are always welcome.  Join on an ongoing basis\, or drop in as you’re able. \nMay we be at peace and keep our hearts open. \nContact Katie R. for more information. \nClick here to join.
