Sunday Sept. 5 Lisa Parriott brings us "Meditating with a Spicy Brain".
We will be discussing some tips and tricks for quieting our mind to get the most out of our moments of peace and mindfulness. Following the discussion will be a guided meditation led by Lisa Parriott. Those preferring the floor over a chair for the meditation are encouraged to bring a yoga mat, pillow, or other portable fluffy seating option to make themselves more relaxed and comfortable.

Note: we will ask any electronic item not responsible for keeping you alive be turned off during meditation. Please plan accordingly.

Sunday Aug. 23 Adrianne Bastas gives us an overview of bridges out of poverty. It’s from the aha! Process, Inc. (a Dr. Ruby Payne company) based on her book. Their mission through the trainings and overview of the book is to enable individuals, institutions, and communities to stabilize and grow resources for all, particularly those in poverty.

It helps to understand the causes and effects of poverty.
