SUMMARY:Contemplative Practices Group
DESCRIPTION:First Thursdays in Channing (A101) \nThird Thursdays in Eliot Chapel \n  \nJoin with us on the first and third Thursdays of the month from 1 to 2:30 p.m. to sit together in silence. Connect to your inner self as well as something bigger than yourself. Bring more peace and joy into your life\, increase mindfulness and develop more perspective. \n“Contemplative spirituality is about slowing down and relaxing our action\, our striving\, and all of our ‘doings.’ In order to ‘wake up’ to the Reality in which we are already immersed\, we must slow down and gently transition ‘from doing to being.’ “ – Keith Kristich \nThis is a drop-in group. Any silent sitting practice is welcomed and no prior meditation experience is needed. If you would like to learn a contemplative practice for use during the group\, let the facilitators know and they will meet with you half an hour before the group sit begins. \nEach group meeting consists of a 20-minute meditation\, a check-in on a spiritually oriented topic\, and deep discussion of a poem or short reading. Facilitator is Patty C. We look forward to being with you! \n— \nPatty has been a UU since childhood and has attended First Unitarian for 20 years. She has taught spiritual practice classes and been involved with Wellspring\, the Labyrinth and other church programs. She learned meditation in college and has had a daily meditation practice since joining First Unitarian. She has been an active Spiritual Director since 2012.

SUMMARY:Transitions and Housing Options
DESCRIPTION:First Unitarian Senior Engagement (FUSE) presents this forum on transitions and housing options: \n\nShould you “age-in-place” and/or build an Accessory Dwelling Unit?\nWould you prefer to move to a senior community? How do you get rid of your stuff?!\nDo you wonder if you qualify for affordable senior housing?\nWhat if you need medical or memory care?\n\nCome hear a panel of First Unitarian members about their search for the best housing for them as they grow older. This forum is for people of all ages\, including older members wondering where to live as they age and younger members wondering what might be the best housing option for a beloved older relative or friend. \nCome at 11:30 a.m. for soup\, sides & conversation. No registration required.
