When you think of Seminoles, do you think of the Hard Rock Casino or Florida State University? There’s a deeper, tragic history to uncover. Learn about the Seminoles—Indigenous Americans who fled to Florida to escape northern conflicts and became known as “wild people” or “runaways.” Joined by free Blacks and runaway slaves, they endured broken treaties, three wars, and the harrowing “Trail of Tears,” which claimed 3,000 lives. This lecture examines a painful chapter in Florida history.
Presented by Bob Busch, a former Cold War-era diplomat with extensive experience in Russian studies and international relations, this talk offers unique insights into historical events.
Yoga Nidra or yogic sleep promotes deep rest and relaxation and is designed for ALL LEVELS. Paige will guide you through a somatic, meditative experience including a body scan, mindful breathing, and visualization. You will be invited to set a Sankulpa (intention) which will serve as your anchor along with your breath throughout the practice. Following the meditation, you will be immersed in a crystal singing bowl sound bath to bring your experience full circle and cultivate a greater sense of wholeness and well-being.

We could be hearing reviews of 20 different books! In the process, some of us are inspired to read/listen to a certain reviewed book and come back next month with our own thoughts to share. It can be wild.
