The Earth is Crying in Our Hearts

The suffering in our world arises out of a sense of separation—from our own bodies and hearts, each other, and this living web. She will explore this trance of separation and how it’s led humans to destroying our larger body, earth. We’ll then look at the pathways of awakening to the truth of “interbeing” and responding to our precious world with love. Brach is a highly regarded teacher of Western Buddhism. Discussion will follow led by our FCEN (Faith Communities Environmental Network) co-leader Susan Starkey as well as Rev. Tony Cryer and others.

Unity Book Club

In honor of Earth Care Month, the Unity Book Club’s April selection is “Zen and The Art of Saving the Planet” by Thich Nhat Hahn. “This book has at its core the simplest of Buddhist solutions: We take care of what we love, so loving the earth with all our hearts is what’s required to save the planet, and ourselves.”

We will meet in person at Unity on Monday, April 18th at 7:00 PM. James Kershner will join us to discuss this enlightening and inspiring book.

The book can be ordered through Martha Powers at Books by the Sea, with a 15% discount for Unity members.

Annawon's passion for preserving the culture has been clear throughout decades spent working at Plimoth Plantation (Museum Interpreter/Outreach Educator), the Boston Children's Museum as well as visiting schools, colleges, museums, libraries, birthdays and more. On stage or in the classroom, his ability to share his tribal culture has been sought after by many institutions.
