Current book:  Silence: A Guide to Harnessing Your Most Powerful Inner Resource Through Mindfulness Techniques by Thich Nhat Hanh

From the publisher’s website: “Burnout, anxiety, stress, brain fog, racing thoughts…all symptoms of our loud and chaotic world. In a time when attention is a commodity, yet disconnection and loneliness are at an all-time high, it can be hard to find a sense of self and belonging. We tend to look to external stimulus to bring us meaning, but what if by looking inward, we can discover what it truly means to be alive?

In his beautiful and beloved book, Buddhist monk and Nobel Peace Prize nominee Thich Nhat Hanh guides us through the enlightening mindfulness techniques that can forever alter how we see and make sense of the world, and ourselves. With gentle anecdotes, simple Buddhist wisdom and practical exercises, he shows us how to live mindfully so that all the internal chatter ceases, and we are left with the eloquent sound of silence.

UU Women’s Group

We have a new home. It’s the Emily Stowe room, the RE room where the adolescents meet during service. The group needed larger quarters and finds the colorful atmosphere and “good vibes” to be a fine fit. Meetings are on 2nd and 4th Sundays at 12:30. Come early at 11:45 for social time—bring your own lunch. Contact suewestwind@gmail.com for information.
