Updates for week of May 28^th – June 3^rd

• East West Bookstore – Starting in June East West Books is hosting a World Peace Meditation on the first Wednesday of each month. This is a wonderful opening for our work as we have been trying to set this up since the Center Opened. Many thanks to Mary Gioggomoto for setting this up. Initially the meditation will be between 5:00 and 6:00 PM. A special notice will go out next week.
• The Money Talks – revision. We will not be posting this transcript on our Yahoo Group site as proposed last week as the CD set of Sri Atmananda's Money and Matter Talks from 2004 is just about to be released. These CD's will at the Center in the near future. If any of you are still interested in the Money Talks you can borrow the transcripts from the Center library.
• Center Library – The Center now has many books and CD's now available on a wide range of spiritual topics and viewpoints. Each book or CD can be borrowed for 30 days but only one at a time. If you have used books, CD's or DVD's on spiritual topics that you would like to share you can donate them to the library at the Center.
• A New Program: Explorations – "an inquiry into spirit". An informal forum is starting up for those seeking more individual guidance, information and insight into the nature of the spiritual path and its process. This program will occur twice a month. The first will be this Sunday afternoon before the WPM and the other on a Saturday after the potluck lunch. See below and the June calendar for more details and times.
