Please consider registering for the new spring reading group. The book club will be reading We Were Made for These Times: Ten Lessons on Moving Through Change, Loss, and Disruption by Kaira Jewel Lingo.
The book, inspired by the teachings of Buddhist monk, Thich Nhat Hahn, on mindfulness and meditation, can be a practical and inspirational guide for navigating some of life's most difficult experiences. In this experiential reading group, we will discuss the ancient teachings shared and explore practices that can serve as a resource and refuge during times of transition and challenge. Book sessions will be bi-weekly to allow time to engage and reflect on different teachings and practices.
What a great way for Panthers to connect, learn and grow stronger together!
