Did you see our Oct newsletter? Lots of good stuff going on to support moments of peace including a free class, a workshop for the soul of your soles, and links to learn about "the Overview Effect" and also to watch the earth from the International Space Station as it circles the earth several times a day with a different pathway for each pass. Mesmerizing and soothing.
