Sunday, November 7th, 1:30pm Muggins Gulch Join Ron and Tan as they lead us on a hike in beautiful Muggins Gulch.  Depending on the trail conditions we will either walk up the road or cut over to the path if there isn’t too much snow. The road is easy to moderate, the trail a bit harder. Bring appropriate supplies for hiking in weather for that day (layers, water, etc.) Very little cell service available.  Please REGISTER below by November 6th. Directions:  Take Tiger Road East for four miles off highway 9 (between Breckenridge and Frisco). Pass the Dredge. Left onto Muggins Gulch Road. Parking is about  1/4 mile down the dirt road.

We are changing topics a bit as John Lehr will introduce us to Becky O’Brien who is Hazon’s National Director of Food & Climate who will lead us in a book discussion of We Are the Weather-Saving the Planet Begins at Breakfast by Jonathan Safran Foer. From the Hazon website: The book is a superb, readable, and very Jewish explication of how and why and in what ways our food choices matter. In We Are the Weather, Foer explores the central global dilemma of our time in a surprising, deeply personal, and urgent new way. The task of saving the planet will involve a great reckoning with ourselves—with our all-too-human reluctance to sacrifice immediate comfort for the sake of the future. It should be an interesting conversation!

Please join us if you are interested in exploring guided meditation with an emphasis on Jewish spirituality. We read a Torah portion and pull out ideas/thoughts that resonate with mindfulness/meditation practices. If you are curious to explore meditation, come join us.
