Mindfulness is the ability to be consciously aware of the present moment in a way that enables an individual to choose actions that cultivate inner calm and emotional balance. In our sessions of guided meditation you will learn to be more aware of your thoughts, emotions, and environment in a nonjudgmental way by staying in the present.

The sessions will be held at the home of a member at 4:30, usually on the last Tuesday of each month . The group will be limited in size so it will be important to register beforehand.

All are welcome to join Silver Spring Village’s in-person book club which meets on the fourth Thursday of each month at 2:00 at the Brig. General Charles McGee Library at 900 Wayne Avenue.
The September book is Before The Coffee Gets Cold, by Toshiakazu Kawaguchi. In a small back alley in Tokyo, there is a café which has been serving carefully brewed coffee for more than one hundred years. But this coffee shop offers its customers a unique experience: the chance to travel back in time.
Four visitors, each of whom is hoping to make use of the café’s time-travelling offer, in order to: confront the man who left them, receive a letter from their husband whose memory has been taken by early onset Alzheimer’s, to see their sister one last time, and to meet the daughter they never got the chance to know. But the journey into the past does not come without risks: customers must sit in a particular seat, they cannot leave the café, and finally, they must return to the present before the coffee gets cold . . .
