All are Welcome! Come the First and Third Tuesdays at 6pm. We are focusing on Sri Easwaran's form of passage meditation and his 8-Point Program for daily living, currently meeting at the Spokane Buddhist Temple. This form of meditation fits with any spiritual path. Passage meditation was designed specifically for the Western “monkey mind.” It is a very disciplined approach to slowing down and focusing. It is difficult, but very rewarding! We are currently studying Sri Easwaran’s book "Passage Meditation". Questions, call Lou Ann at (509) 590-3512
We will be discussing “A Natural History of Empty Lots" by Christopher Brown at the April meeting.
This book club typically meets on the 1st Tuesday of the month. We meet at Auntie’s Bookstore and it is led by Teri. Please send any inquiries to teri@auntiesbooks.com.
Instead of judging, shaming, and refusing to connect with people who hold different beliefs, join American Buddhist nun Tenzin Tsepal to explore cultivating the practice of curiosity as a way of responding to differences that fosters meaningful connection and understanding.

From small fleeting moments to a conscientious way of life, Joy is the thread that holds our lives together. More than just the silver lining we see on the edge of clouds, joy helps us find meaning, purpose, and the courage to take the next step.
Interpretations of Joy are represented in different forms of printmaking, such as intaglio and relief printing, from linoleum, wood carving, and letterpress printing by members of the Spokane Print & Publishing Center.

This April Pottery Place Plus is pleased to present the resin art of Karen Vollmer-Poseley and the sculpted wool of Mia Simonsen.
Karen finds the magic of the resin art form is in the process of watching each piece become unique in the final form ~ no two pieces are alike!
Mia's "Owl Song Feltery" creates botanicals out of wool ~ cactus and succulents were her first botanicals of choice, and more recently mushrooms and other fungi.
