Mindful Monday Meditation 6:00 – 8:00 PM Room 5 – Upstairs
February 13, 2012
March 5, 2012
April 2, 2012
“Meditation is to look deeply in order to arrive at reality – first the reality of ourselves and then the reality of the world.”
Join us for mindfulness practice in the Plum Village tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh. Practices include: sitting and walking meditations; mindful tea; and discussion. Everyone is welcome. No experience necessary. For more information, please contact Beth Howard, 638-4554.
“To get to that reality, we have to let go of the images we create in our consciousness and our notions of self and other, inside and outside. Our practice is to correct this tendency to discriminate and think dualistically, so that reality will have a chance to reveal itself.” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh

Also, bring your favorite crafting project, a friend and a snack to share. For more information, contact Michelle Swanson harryandred@wyoming.com.

Programs and Groups Cheyenne Secular Homeschoolers By Michelle Swanson
It became clear to me, more than two years ago, that the Cheyenne community was in need of a second, secular, homeschooling support group. With deep appreciation and gratitude, I thank the UUCC Board for offering us a safe and welcoming place to call home. To choose to homeschool is to choose to walk an alternative path, a less accepted path, and often-times, a criticized path. Many families on this challenging journey need a community to turn to for support, encouragement, companionship and commonality. Cheyenne Secular Homeschoolers is the only local group to welcome all homeschoolers, from all walks of life, all religious backgrounds and all curriculum styles, without requiring participating families to sign a Statement of Faith before becoming members. Without this barrier in place, we hope that a variety of homeschoolers will begin participating in our activities allowing us to celebrate what we all have in common, the fact that we are all homeschooling families! Currently, CSH meets on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of each month, from 1-3 p.m. in the UUCC Social Hall. We set up different activity areas for the children, including a puzzle area, a board game area, a place for dominoes, a bowling alley, and an area for basketball under the hoops on the east end of the room. Starting in January 2012, we hope to begin organizing field trips, roller skating and swimming outings, and getting the website up and running.
