  5 Invitations: Discovering What Death Can Teach Us About Living     by Frank Ostaseski

  Drawing on his work with the dying and on the healing of his own life, Ostaseski outlines the five central “invitations” — habits of mind, orientations of spirit — through which an untruculent acceptance of death can become a love-expanding, life-expanding force. (Brain Pickings)

  This book group is a small group of individuals who study and share books on mindfulness practices to create happier and healthier living. Books are read aloud together during the meeting. Discussion is focused on understanding how the author’s words and concepts are relevant to our daily lives.

  Every Wednesday  the Sangha will meet on Zoom for meditation and deep sharing. This is a great opportunity to check in with yourself and the sangha during the week. So come relax and calm the mind and body, and practice meditation and deep listening together with us.

  Our weekly discussions usually involve examples of how we’ve applied the mindfulness practices we study. Even if you are not familiar with the practice, you are likely to find something of value in the discussion and be able to share from your own experiences if you choose.
