Sit With It: A Monthly Meditation + Discussion Series
Topic for our next meeting: Power with Glenda Carpio, Barbara & Melanie
In these gatherings, we will focus on a meaningful topic through discussion, readings, and meditation. We will turn inward to observe thoughts and feelings, and together consider how meditation practice can lay the groundwork for skillful action. The themes of privilege and justice will underpin and inform all of our conversations.
Organized and hosted by Barbara and Melanie, with monthly guest speakers.
