Beginning September 13th, we’ll gather on the first Sunday of each month to slowly make our way through Thích Nhất Hạnh’s Living Buddha, Living Christ.
And when we say slowly, we mean slowly.
Rather than consuming chapters at a time, we’ll spend each month with just a few pages, giving the words room to settle and inviting them to move from our heads into our lives. Our gatherings will weave together conversation, portions of the audiobook, silence, and mindfulness practices including sitting, walking, and even eating.
Living Buddha, Living Christ brings Buddhist and Christian wisdom into conversation, exploring places where these ancient paths illuminate and enrich one another. In that same spirit, our time together will be less about arriving at the “right” interpretation and more about listening deeply, practicing together, and remaining curious about what these wisdom traditions might reveal about ourselves, one another, and the Divine.

Over a textured, light gray background, there is a photo of a book. The cover is light gray and says, “National Bestselling Author Thich Nhat Hanh. Living Buddha, Living Christ. 20th Anniversary Edition.” The text on the graphic above and next to the photo of the book says, “Living Buddha, Living Christ. A Contemplative Book Circle. 1st Sunday of each Month, Starting Sept. 13 @ 2:30pm. ‘[Thich Nhat Hanh] shows us the connection between personal, inner peace, and peace on earth.’ - The Dalai Lama.
