Ceremony for Lost Children Workshop September 5, 2010 On September 5, we will have a Memorial Ceremony for Lost Children. Jizo can help heal our feelings of loss for children who passed at a young age from accident, illness, stillbirth, abortion or miscarriage. We can let go of sadness at the beginning of the school year when memories can surface. See the flyer below for details. Meditation and Peace Study Group September begins a new focus on Thursday nights including September 2, 9, 16, and 23. Starting at 7:00 pm we will have a silent chair meditation followed by a discussion of the book Peace Is The Way by Deepak Chopra. Yoga is discontinued for the time being. We thank Susan de Gaia for being willing to lead us in exercises for the last few months. Entertainment Books As a fundraiser, the Jizo Peace Center now has Entertainment Coupon Books for sale at $25 with huge merchant savings for the San Fernando Valley, Santa Barbara, and Bakersfield. Other city books available on request. Support the Center and save $$ too! See the flyer below for details.
