Circle of Community in Connection
Join us for an online gathering dedicated to sharing in community, engaging in meditation, and checking in on life.
Our thoughts are with the many families affected by the devastating flooding here in our home state of Texas.
We have also learned that Joanna Macy, one of the guiding inspirations of our work at the Mind Body Ecology Institute, has moved into hospice care.
In her honor, and in solidarity with all those affected by natural disasters, this month’s Circle of Community in Connectionwill be dedicated to Joanna’s legacy with The Work that Reconnects and to those experiencing suffering and loss.
Please join us for a time of meditation, community, and heartfelt reflection.
90 minutes. A free program welcoming of all!
Wednesday, July 16, 7:00 CST.
