The Assaya Sangha book group meets in person at a sangha sister's home in the East Bay (California) on the second Saturday of the month.
The book chosen for June and July will be
another Thich Nhat Hanh book,
"Reconciliation: Healing the Inner Child".
From the plum village website
: Based on Dharma talks by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh and insights from participants in retreats for healing the inner child, this book is an exciting contribution to the growing trend of using Buddhist practices to encourage mental health and wellness.
Reconciliation
focuses on the theme of mindful awareness of our emotions and healing our relationships, as well as meditations and exercises to acknowledge and transform the hurt that many of us experienced as children. The book shows how anger, sadness, and fear can become joy and tranquility by learning to breathe with, explore, meditate, and speak about our strong emotions.
Reconciliation
offers specific practices designed to bring healing and release for people suffering from childhood trauma. The book is written for a wide audience and accessible to people of all backgrounds and spiritual traditions.
No ongoing commitment is required and it is not necessary to read the entire book to attend.
If you are joining us to discuss the book, please pick a passage from the book to share with the group that speaks to you or informs your life and/or practice.
June 13th from 11 AM - 1 PM
Moderator: Roxanne
Future meeting dates (2nd Saturdays):
- July 11th, 11 AM - 1 PM
