[StPete-news] St. Petersburg Mindfulness and Other Meditation Happenings

Tue May 29 16:15:44 PDT 2007

Dear Friends,

As some of you know, our teacher Fred will be away for several weeks into
the month of June.  We will continue to have our regular meetings at Yoga
Moves on June 6 and June 20 (first and third Wednesdays).  Members of the
group will guide the discussions.  Supporting one another along the path is
a significant aspect of the practice.  We invite you to participate to both
give and receive that support.  Participating in the sangha (practice
community) benefits all beings.  

The Dancing Waters Sangha meets every week on Thursday evenings.  You can
visit www.floridamindfulness.org <http://www.floridamindfulness.org/>  for
details and directions.

I thought you might be interested in this email from Steve Shealy noting
upcoming Meditation Happenings in our area.  

Enjoy your breathing
..
