April Book Club Gathering
Please drop in for our April Book Club gathering for an informal discussion of Walking Each Other Home: Conversations on Loving and Dying, by Ram Dass and Mirabai Bush. In this extraordinary book, they generously share intimate personal experiences and timeless practices with courage, humor, and heart. Here you’ll learn about guidelines for being a “loving rock” for the dying, how to grieve fully and authentically, how to transform a fear of death, leaving a spiritual legacy, creating a sacred space for dying, and much more.
“Everybody you have ever loved is a part of the fabric of your being now,” says Ram Dass. The body may die, but the soul remains. Death is an invitation to a new kind of relationship, in the place where we are all One. Join these two lifelong friends and spiritual luminaries as they explore what it means to live and die consciously, remember who we really are, and illuminate the path we walk together.
Our Book Club meets monthly, on the first Tuesday of each month at 7.30 pm.

In this practical guide, authors Sharon Salzberg and Robert Thurman share stories and exercises for finding peace within yourself and with the world.
Our Book Club meets on the first Tuesday of each month at 7.30 pm.
