This service will include excerpts from Eckhart Tolle’s books The Power of Now and New Earth. Both books have been the subject of an ongoing Chalice Circle study group led by Joe here at UU Danbury for the past 9 years. The driving themes outlined in these two books points to how and why we so often identify with uncontrolled negative thinking and fear. The author offers people intense and compelling suggestions that, through regular practice, can help people redirect their attention and attitudes. Learning to extricate one’s self from incessant, compulsive, repetitive thinking can provide a pathway to much greater understanding of life, improved physical and mental health, and a strong sense of inner Peace.

Joe has also been practicing and teaching Yoga and Yoga philosophy since the early seventies.

The Fourth of July was not a federal holiday until 1870. How did Americans acknowledge their independence prior to that? How have celebrations evolved since then? Depending on one’s place in American society, the answers to those questions would certainly vary.

Please join us as we explore the meaning of the Fourth of July from a different perspective at 10:00 A.M. (Yes, 10 – NOT 10:30!)
