The circle of six parents, plus one precious toddler, met for the first time the morning of Tuesday, November 5th. We discussed scheduling, sat together, shared some parenting challenges, and had some laughs. We all agreed Everyday Blessings: The Inner Work of Mindful Parenting by Myla & Jon Kabat-Zinn would be a good book for the group to discuss.

New Book Groups

Small group study provides opportunities for each of us to deepen our practice through reading and discussing texts with other sangha members. It also provides a way for people to get to know each other better and develop deeper relationships. 

Open Door has recently organized new book groups. If you would like more information about joining a book group, please email Jeri Sides.
