READING ASSIGNMENT:

 

Our last meeting was bubbling with lots of lively discussion stimulated by this book!  We decided to reduce the reading assignment for each meeting to allow ample time for discussion.  This coming month we will discuss Chapter 6 and 7 ("Dynamics of Emotion" and "Effort, Ease and Intention"). 

The Dharma-Inspired book group is self led and usually meets the first or second Friday of the month.  For our current book, Anne Foster is acting as facilitator and contact person: afoster@rawbw.com, 650-591-1285.
