Meditation Class

Meditation is a process of transforming the mind. It enhances clarity, concentration, relaxation and positive mind states while alleviating stress, anxiety, depression and other medical conditions. This is done by focusing the mind, staying present and being aware of thoughts. We will be sitting in chairs and will be doing some silent/guided meditation sessions along with contemplations. No prior meditation experience is necessary. These on-going classes will meet every other Saturday and will be guided by Ilene Venizelos. For questions or to register, please call COA at 526-6368.

Humanist Discussion Group
Thursday, December 15 1:30pm
At the October meeting the group began with a discussion of politics and religion. A bumper sticker fueled the debate. What exactly was the driver of the car intending to say with the sticker “I am Christian and I vote!” As always, we resolved nothing, and wandered off into the realm of why non-theists seem to have little influence in social and political interactions. By the time you read this, we would have already had our November meeting at which we had agreed to continue the topic of how non-theists can have a more profound influence on our civilization. Come join us. This is a walk-in program.
