Join us at Lake Park on Milwaukee's East Side at 6:00 pm on the second and fourth Thursday of the month May 22 

to September 25, 2025.

​

We will be reading Pema Chodron's Taking the Leap: Freeing Ourselves from Old Habits and Fears.  The book is as appropiate today as it was in 2009.  Challenging times continue!

​

Traditionally, before one settled down to their teachings or studies they would participate in some movement.  We are offering an option of a few moments of Qigong or if you prefer, settling your mind with some quiet sitting. 

 

Following the movement, we will pass the book and read some of the first chapter, followed by discussion.  After discussion, time is set aside to be with nature, contemplating the reading or exploring what's around us.  When we regather as a group people are welcome to share any further insights before ending the gathering.​

​

Where in the park?  From the restaurant/golf course parking lot walk south past the waterfall entry on your left. Continue south down the sidewalk.  Kathy and I will arrive earlier and find a place on the grass to gather.  See the small map with the “Xs” for the general vicinity.  There’ll be a sign near us to indicate the gathering.  If you feel lost, text Anne.
