Join David and Peter Kountz for a guided group reading of “Care of the Soul” by Thomas Moore (1992). This reading is to anchor the group discussion about spirituality, David started this January.
As a reminder, the topic is spirituality rather than religion. David has invited several guest speakers to share their spiritual journeys and experience. As soon as guests confirm their availability, FRIEDAcommunity will share this information with you.
While this book and its author may be popular among those who practice meditation, mindfulness, and people of faith, it may be new territory for some, including David.
