Life-long Learning ⇔ Spiritual Growth ⇔ Building Community

SPEAK FROM THE HEART

Listen With Your Whole Being

In true community, people know they are safe to speak their most vulnerable truths straight from the heart – because in true community, people listen with their whole being, without attempting to offer advice, heal or convert others. Creating this type of community is the goal of Creating Compassionate Community, two covenant groups that will be open for new members in June. The groups study and practice Compassionate Communication as taught by Marshall Rosenberg in his book Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life.

The groups meet every other Thursday afternoon and evening respectively. If there is enough interest, a third group may form. Childcare also may be available. For more info, contact Lars Bergeson, larsavatarisk@gmail.com; or Louise Jacobsen, louisej963015@gmail.com.

Ongoing Activities

BUUF YOGA

Mark Zimmerer

BUUF yoga meets every Wednesday evening from 5:45-6:45 in the North Wing. This is a one hour gentle yoga asana (postures) class. Each class includes a brief silent meditation, focus on the breath, and a sequence of yoga poses to help loosen up and calm down. The main purpose of yoga as I see it is to help us become more physically capable of feeling gratitude and love and to help us see the world as it truly is. If you have a mat bring it, if not, let me know and I'll bring a loaner. Cost is a sliding scale of $5-10 per class, with accommodations for need. Questions? Mark Zimmerer, 208 409-5292, or zimleyixna.y@cableone.net.

MONDAY MEDITATION GROUP

Jay Wechselberger

Do you have an established meditation practice or are you thinking of starting? The Monday evening meditation group here at BUUF may be just the thing for you.

Meeting with a group at least once a week makes it much easier to continue your practice at other times. And, if you are just starting, the encouragement of a group is most helpful. You will find that over time your practice will have many advantages: it has positive influences on blood pressure and general health, lowers anxiety, and sharpens your focus.

Join us every Monday evening from 6:00 to 7:00pm. We meet in the Fahs room in the north wing. If you would like more information call Jay at 208 871-3765.
