Hey folks – just a quick email to remind you that we do not have a gathering either in-person or online this (long) weekend.

However, if you want to take a few minutes to engage in some further reflection on the topic we were exploring last week, which was Exploring the Spirituality of Leisure (you can find the podcast here), I would highly recommend checking out the TED Talk by Pico Iyer that is linked below. Pico is often thought of primarily as a travel writer, but as you will see if you check out the link, he is someone who has both thought deeply about the benefits of silence and stillness, arranged his life to make it a priority, and written about it at length. This is an accessible, engaging and (dare I say it?) reasonable take on including stillness in our busy lives from someone who actually walks the talk.

I hope you have a wonderful long weekend that includes some moments to be still, and I look forward to being with you again next Sunday (August 10th).

Peace,

Tim Plett
