The Northbrae Meditation group meets every Monday at 5:00 pm. We meet for one hour in the Parlor in the winter or in the Sacred Hoop Garden in warm weather. The Meditation Team (Jay Miyazaki, Judi Cochran and Carol Anne Fusco) rotates leadership and content. The readings and chants are chosen from the diversity of spiritual paths and religions and teachers that light our way. Each meditation starts with a breath awareness exercise or guided visualization for approximately seven minutes followed by the chosen reading that leads into a 20–25-minute meditation to soft music. Participants are welcome to do walking meditation during this period. We end our time together with a chant, song or vocalization led by Carol Anne Fusco. On Sunday evening Jay Miyazaki sends out an email with the content. If you would like to be added to the email list drop Jay a line: jmPE0314@gmail.com

Civic Conversations

We will discuss the significance of the January 6 hearings. Contact Dianne McNenny, mcnennyd@aol.com, if you would like to join the conversation,
Northbrae Civics Conversation group started in 2019 with the presidential campaign in full swing. The group researched the many candidates followed by vigorous discussion. After the election, we concentrated on the Constitution and then we read and digested the Federalist Papers. When the January 6th event happened, the House created the January 6th Committee and our focus changed to follow the hearings. We meet monthly on Zoom. Participants share articles, podcasts, and online information to supply further information. An interest in how our government functions, the founding documents, and the implications for our actions today, have been the goals of our group. We invite all who have such an interest to join us.
