Dharma Book Club

Monday, May 5
1-2 PM
In Person

Join Ann Gregoire for a low key, informal book club/discussion group on the first Monday of each month–starting on May 5th at 1 pm. No leader, no study questions, no pressure if you didn’t have time to read the book. Or didn’t finish it. Show up anyway. All are welcome.

The first book will be: The Art of Living: A Guide to Mindfulness, Personal Growth and Peace with Transformative Meditations for Understanding Life’s Deepest Questions and Experiencing Happiness and Freedom by Thich Naht Hanh. After that, the group will choose books a couple months in advance.
