*Connection Circle on Contemplative Practice for Challenging Times* *Starting May 6, 2024, 7 - 8:30pm* *Via Zoom*
Seeing the need for a stronger, more resilient presence when one actively engages in the world, Toni Pieroni and Bob Russell have decided that more specific practices are critical to help maintain balance in the face of today's uncertitudes. As a result, they have chosen our next Circle to be entitled *Contemplative Practices for Challenging Times* and to draw from the wisdom and inspiration of Bucko's partner Kaira Jewel Lingo, who works closely with him on Christian/Buddhist practices for contemplation and action. they will use her highly praised book with the intriguing title We Were Made for These Times: 10 Lessons for Moving Through Change, Loss, and Disruption. The Circle will meet virtually on Zoom, beginning May 6 and continuing for 10 consecutive Mondays.
