In every sacred tradition, silence, stillness and attentive presence are keys to living a more balanced, harmonious and healthful life. Join Ron in a weekly meditation gathering based on the 81 brief, enigmatic sayings of the 2,500 year old Chinese wisdom tradition known as The Tao Te Ching. With uncommon elegance, it crystallizes the teachings of Taoist philosophy on such perennial matters as power, happiness, and the source of meaning in human life. Every generation of admirers has felt, and continues to feel, a prescience in these ancient teachings so astonishing that they appear to have been written for their own time.

Author Ursula K. Le Guin, who studied The Tao all her life, has said: “It is the most lovable of all the great religious texts, funny, keen, kind, modest, indestructibly outrageous, and inexhaustibly refreshing. Of all the deep springs, this is the purest water. To me, it is also the deepest spring.”

Each week we will begin with a brief check-in, read three different translations of the verse for the week, meditate together for 10 minutes, then share in an open discussion of the texts as they might apply in our life, . Part of the discussion is about how to deepen our individual practice. Ron has been meditating for over 40 years and will serve as guide and facilitator.
