The link for the next Zoom meeting is: \n\nPlease see the Kingfisher Sangha email newsletter for the Zoom link.\nIn November we will begin reading Unshakeable by Jo-ann Rosen. Please read the first two chapters. A holistic system for gaining and maintaining the stability of mind needed for personal and social transformation\, even in the midst of trauma—with simple\, body-based exercises grounded in neuroscience and mindfulness\, inspired by Thich Nhat Hanh. Time and time again\, even in places where trauma is commonplace\, Rosen has seen that a regulated nervous system allows an individual to move from overwhelm and despair to stability and engagement. The Plum Village approach to well-being cultivates resilience while recognizing the unique social and ecological challenges of our times. \nThe sangha has funds to help you purchase the book if you need them. Please contact Starr for information. \nFor more information and questions\, please contact Linda at revlin23@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Day of Mindfulness with Richard Brady
DESCRIPTION:Kingfisher Sangha invites you to \nSPACIOUS MIND\, INCLUSIVE HEART\nA DAY OF MINDFULNESS with Dharma Teacher Richard Brady\nOctober 19\, 2024 | 9:30-3:30 pm ET. All are welcome!\nUU Society of Schenectady | 1221 Wendell Ave.\, Schenectady\, NY 12308 \nThich Nhat Hanh has established a tradition\, on the eve of the Lunar New Year\, of offering the sangha a simple poetic couplet in calligraphy that can inspire and nurture our mindfulness practice throughout the year. For the Year of the Dragon\, 2024\, Spacious Mind\, Inclusive Heart have been offered for our practice. These verses seem particularly relevant to the times in which we find ourselves. As Sr. Chan Duc wrote: “ . . . we have a chance to look at how much room there is in our heart and how much space there is in our mind. We need a spacious mind in order to deepen our understanding and with more understanding we grow the capacity of heart to include all.” \n***** \nRichard Brady (True Dharma Bridge) is a retreat leader\, writer\, educational consultant\, and coordinator of the Wake Up Schools. He is a founder of the Mindfulness in Education Network\, an international organization with 1\,700 participants. In 2001\, he received lamp transmission from Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh to be a Dharma teacher in his tradition with a special focus on cultivating mindfulness in young people. In 2008 Richard’s spouse Elisabeth Dearborn\, True Lotus Color\, and he founded the Mountains and Rivers Mindfulness Community in southeast Vermont\, US\, where they now live. Richard has been a friend and support to Kingfisher Sangha for many years and we welcome him back for this Day of Mindfulness. \n***** \nPlease bring with you:\n* a cushion if you use one for meditation\n* a vegetarian lunch\n* a yoga mat and/or blanket for total relaxation\n* layered clothes and socks. Sometimes the room can be overly hot\, and sometimes it’s quite cold during total relaxation time! \nDana: Richard’s teachings are offered freely. We can show our gratitude for the teachings by giving donations (dana) when we attend the Day of Mindfulness. \nRSVP to Christine Kingery at ChristineKingery96@gmail.com \nRichard will also be giving a reading from his new book Short Journey Home: Awakening to Freedom with Thich Nhat Hanh on October 20 at Yoga Mandali in Saratoga Springs sponsored by Northshire Books.

As we share build and strengthen our connections. \nThe Book Group meets on Zoom on the third Wednesday of the month\, at 10am….EXCEPT for this month! This September meeting is a slight variation from before. \n\nPlease see the Kingfisher Sangha newsletter for the ZOOM link.\n\nWe will begin reading The Art of Communicating by Thich Nhat Hanh\, (166 pages). How do we say what we mean in a way that the other person can really hear How can we listen with compassion and understanding? Communication fuels the ties that bind\, whether in relationships\, business\, or everyday interactions. Most of us\, however\, have never been taught the fundamental skills of communication\, or how to best represent our true selves. Effective communication is as important to our well-being and happiness as the food we put into our bodies. It can be either healthy and nourishing or toxic and destructive. Thich Naht Hanh delivers a powerful path to happiness through mastering life’s most important skill. \nPlease read chapters 5 and 6 for our September meeting. \nThe sangha has funds to help you purchase the book if you need them. Please contact Starr for information. \nFor more information and questions\, please contact Linda at revlin23@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Kingfisher Book Club: Reconciliation (In-Person)
DESCRIPTION:Kingfisher Sangha Book Club\nApril 20 (In-Person) | April 17 (Online)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKingfisher Book Group Continues in April!\nIn-Person on April 20; Via Zoom on April 17 \nCome read a book together! All are invited to the Kingfisher Book Group. We have two branches of the group. \nOne meets on Zoom on the third Wednesday of the month\, at 10am. That is April 17th. \nThe other branch meets in person at the home of Sherrie L at 1:30pm on the third Saturdays of the month. That is April 20th. \nPeople are invited to attend one or both of the April gatherings.  If you plan to attend the in person version\, please let Sherrie know and she can give you information about her address\, etc. Her e-mail is lyonssherrie3@gmail.com \nWe will read Reconciliation: Healing the Inner Child by Thich Nhat Hanh. \n“A simple but penetrating perspective on transforming our childhood pain and confusion into strength and clarity.” (Thomas Moore\, Care of the Soul.) Thich Nhat Hanh offers unique insights on how mindfulness practice can encourage wellness and balanced mental health\, and help heal childhood suffering and trauma. With personal stories\, techniques for dealing with old and new situations\, and advice for building strong and long-lasting relationships\, Reconciliation is full of concrete practices for healing the inner child. Nhat Hanh shows how mindfulness can transform anger\, sadness\, and fear and allow joy and tranquility to flourish. \nThe book is 184 pages long\,  We’ll read this book slowly in order to absorb its messages and perhaps for some of us\, deal with our own inner child. So for the  meeting in April\, we would read through chapter 6\, Healing the Inner Child. \nThe sangha has funds to help you purchase the book if you need them. Please contact Starr for information.  \nFor more information and questions\, please contact Linda at revlin23@gmail.com.  Also\, if you need information about the in person meeting location\, contact Linda.

Thich Nhat Hanh offers unique insights on how mindfulness practice can encourage wellness and balanced mental health\, and help heal childhood suffering and trauma. With personal stories\, techniques for dealing with old and new situations\, and advice for building strong and long-lasting relationships\, Reconciliation is full of concrete practices for healing the inner child. Nhat Hanh shows how mindfulness can transform anger\, sadness\, and fear and allow joy and tranquility to flourish. \nThe book is 184 pages long\,  We’ll read this book slowly in order to absorb its messages and perhaps for some of us\, deal with our own inner child. So for the  meeting in April\, we would read through chapter 6\, Healing the Inner Child. \nThe sangha has funds to help you purchase the book if you need them. Please contact Starr for information.  \nFor more information and questions\, please contact Linda at revlin23@gmail.com.  Also\, if you need information about the in person meeting location\, contact Linda.
