Online Practice Oriented Book Group (6 week series - 4/7-6/9)

Tue 04/07/20 - 7:00pm to 8:30pm

Students will need access to a copy of the book Lovingkindness: The Revolutionary Art of Happiness, by Sharon Salzburg and will be expected to complete the readings in between group gatherings.  In this classic book, Sharon shows us how to cultivate lovingkindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity in our lives.  Practicing lovingkindness, both for ourselves and others, is an essential tool for navigating these uncertain times and finding ease and well-being in the midst of turmoil.   

For the first session, the assignment is to read: the Introduction and Chapters 1 and 2.   Please select a short passage to read to the group and share how the passage relates to your meditation practice. 

This is a six week series, meeting on 4/7, 4/14, 5/5, 5/19, 6/2 and 6/9.  You must be registered in order to participate.  Please send an email to the Director, Debra Sullivan, letting her know you would like to be put on the registration list.  Because of the limitations of the Zoom platform, we are limiting the enrollment for this session to fifteen. 

This is a free offering, however, if you want to give a donation to support IMCN, please click the button below.
