Tao Te Ching Study Group

Thursdays, Oct. 2-Nov. 6, 7-9pm

Conference Room or Zoom at https://tinyurl.com/nhabftv7

   We will be exploring the 2,500-year-old ideas in the Chinese Tao Te Ching. Gene Mialkowski and Bill Keefner will facilitate, and our primary source will be the Tao Te Ching as interpreted by Stephen Mitchell with occasional references to other translations and interpretations. The goal is to have lively, insightful discussions on the meaning of the Tao and how it applies to society today and to us as individuals. Bring your copy of the Tao Te Ching if you have one.

You are welcome to join ongoing weekly sessions of A Course in Miracles, a self-study spiritual program based on universal spiritual themes, primarily including forgiveness as the path to love in order to focus on living more peacefully in this world. To RSVP, contact Suzette Boulais at zetter3@comcast.net.
