Technology allows us to connect like never before to friends, family, and like-minded strangers. There are technical gizmos that are supposed to enhance meditation and raise awareness. Do you see technology as a benefit spiritually? Is it more of a negative influence? Does it take us away too much from natural and traditional connections?

Join us for a free-ranging discussion of this timely topic.

When should you intervene when a loved one has Alzheimers, mental illness, brain injury, addiction or homelessness that is harming themselves? We will discuss the fine line between free-will and when YOU should intervene in the life of another person.

We will use a talking-stick to moderate our discussion. All are welcome to join in our lively interchange!

Circle Sunday will focus on discussion about "good death."

If you have had a relative or close friend die, would you describe it as a “good death” or “bad death?” Why?

Could it have been better? How?

What is your greatest fear about dying? What could soothe your fears?

What changes would YOU make to our current health care system to increase your chances of having a "good death?"

Join us for this lively discussion. Bring your opinions and your open mind.

We will hold a series of Circle Sundays this year. At these events, we'll have a discussion topic for which the questions will be posted in advance of the gathering. You are encouraged to bring your opinions, your questions, and your open mind to each Circle Sunday.

Questions for this first Circle Sunday are:
What does Simple Living mean to you?
How is Voluntary simplicity different from poverty or stinginess? How much is enough?
How to YOU balance comfort with simplicity?
Does your spiritual journey or inner truth guide you to simplicity? If so, how?

Join us for this wide open discussion about Simple Living. We will use a talking stick to help us share the talk time and listen respectfully.
