CODEPINK is a women-initiated grassroots peace and social justice movement working to end the war in Iraq, stop new wars, and redirect our resources into healthcare, education, and other life-affirming activities. With an emphasis on joy and humor, CODE PINK women and men seek to activate, amplify, and inspire a community of peacemakers through creative campaigns and a commitment to non-violence.

Sunday, June 1 - 6 p.m,-8 p.m - an evening listening to Eckhart Tolle's teachings facilitated by Nancy Beck. She will facilitate a "Silent Local Group." which will meet every other Sunday evening from 6pm - 8pm and follow this format: Begin with 10 minutes silent meditation. Listen to an Eckhart Tolle audio or video recording for 1 to 1.5 hours. End with ten minutes of silence. It is best not to engage in discussion, as it tends to stimulate the mind and ego. If you are truly interested, please call me at 415 669-1472 or email me at nancybeck@earthlink.net. We will probably meet at the Inverness Firehouse, but this is dependent on number of people expressing interest. Start date: June 1. Small donation (estimate $5) Thanks.
