Beginning this fall, we’ll gather on the first Sunday of each month to slowly make our way through Thích Nhất Hạnh’s Living Buddha, Living Christ.
And when we say slowly, we mean slowly.
Rather than consuming chapters at a time, we’ll spend each month with just a few pages, giving the words room to settle and inviting them to move from our heads into our lives. Our gatherings will weave together conversation, portions of the audiobook, silence, and mindfulness practices including sitting, walking, and even eating.
Living Buddha, Living Christ brings Buddhist and Christian wisdom into conversation, exploring places where these ancient paths illuminate and enrich one another. In that same spirit, our time together will be less about arriving at the “right” interpretation and more about listening deeply, practicing together, and remaining curious about what these wisdom traditions might reveal about ourselves, one another, and the Divine.
