Books & Bagels meets monthly.

We live in a society where stress and distress have become the norm. Our Jewish tradition offers us frameworks and tools to choose a different path, a path of more clear-eyed, open-hearted, wise living in relationship with ourselves, each other, and the Divine. Come meditate with Carrie Watkins, a Center for Small Town Jewish Life rabbinical student apprentice. Carrie has been leading meditation circles across Maine over this year. This session combines guided, silent meditation with song, Jewish learning, and time for mindful group reflection. Everyone is welcome, whether you’ve never meditated or have had a rich practice for years.
