Monday Meditation
An ABODE tradition! Our meditation format includes a brief reading chosen by the week’s facilitator to prepare us for 30 minutes of silent meditation. It could be a poem, a Scripture from any tradition or a reflection on a topic that opens us to deeper contemplation of awareness and love. After meditation, we follow with a conversation based on the reading or meditation. RSVP by sending an email to Edwin Sasek.
Monday Meditation is 5-6 pm, Mondays, hosted on Zoom.

Life After Loss Bereavement Support Group
We’ve had a wonderful first session of Life After Loss. Several of us in the ABODE Community recently met each Thursday for six weeks to understand the process of grief and how to live through it in a healing way. Many thanks to CHRISTUS VNA Hospice for partnering with us on this special program.
We plan to launch another session in January 2021.
