Online event

Note: There is a password required to join this Zoom - the password is **silence**

Come sit in group silence to meditate, contemplate or whatever calls you.

Structure (shown in minutes past the hour since there are different time zones)

* :00 Please enter our space muted. As much as we like to be friendly and acknowledge each other, please do so with a smile and wait until 20 mins past the hour for any speaking.
* :01 Sit in silence and stillness for 12 minutes. Leaving your camera on is encouraged unless you know you cannot be reasonably still (e.g., if you are moving about or eating breakfast please turn your camera off while doing so)
* :13 Coming back, we continue in silence for a few more minutes. We encourage you to turn your camera on unless you know you can't be reasonably still.
* :16 Optional sharing of individual reflections on today's silence that contribute to the group's purpose. For instance: “I tried a new prompt where the only thing to think about is ‘I wonder what my next thought will be’ and it was really helpful” or “I started out feeling very distracted by the birds my roof, but I was able to reframe the irritation into an appreciation of how wonderful It is to be this close to nature” or “I hadn't done a body scan meditation in a while and I forgot how powerful it can be.”
* :20 Optional casual conversation begins (feel free to stay and chat for as long as you want.)

A few reminders:

1. Please mute yourself when you join - we will begin the silence at 10:01 ET / 7:01am PT.
2. We have received feedback that it's preferred to sit quietly before the actual 12 mins start, so when you join, please refrain from "chit chat".
3. After the 12 mins are up, we will let everyone know (so you don't need to keep track of time yourself).
4. If you need to drop off early, feel free to just exit the Zoom (no need to let us know.)

Together in Silence: Meditate, Contemplate, etc. 

Let's meet in Carlsbad Village and combine our Cafe Circle with the option to spend some time at the local farmer's market.

We will meet at our usual time of 1:30 pm for drinks and snacks at Lofty Coffee Company on State Street, just two blocks north from the market. The market begins at 2:30 pm and goes into the evening. It's an easy stroll between the cafe and the market. Feel free to enjoy one or both of these activities. I'll probably enjoy a drink and visit for about an hour and then head to the market to pick up some local flowers, produce and stop at a few of my favorite stands. But those who prefer to remain at the cafe and visit are free to do so. We are a casual group.

If the farmer's market isn't your thing, there is beach access from the village via a staircase at the west end of Grand. The north corner of the market is at Grand and State. Reach out to someone else in our group you've connected with to meet up prior or afterwards to enjoy a beach stroll and visit.

Parking shouldn't be too difficult since we are arriving in the village before the market opens. There is some street parking nearby and on surrounding blocks. I often park in the nearby Coaster rail parking lot where there is always parking.

Come make some new friends or hang out with old friends! PLEASE keep your RSVP up-to-date, so the people on the wait list can replace you in a timely fashion. I have a ONE STRIKE policy.....you will not be allowed to sign up again if you have been a No Show or have cancelled more than one time at the last minute! Please be courteous and update your RSVP NO LATER than 48 hours prior. RSVP close time is 10 am the day of event.

I've scheduled this for one hour, but anyone who'd like to stay and visit longer, or include a walk before or afterwards is welcome.

\*\*Book Description: "\*\* ***Mad Honey *** by *Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan*

Goodreads Choice Award
[Nominee for Best Fiction (2022)](https://www.goodreads.com/choiceawards/best-fiction-books-2022)
*A soul-stirring novel about what we choose to keep from our past, and what we choose to leave behind.*

Olivia McAfee knows what it feels like to start over. Her picture-perfect life—living in Boston, married to a brilliant cardiothoracic surgeon, raising a beautiful son, Asher—was upended when her husband revealed a darker side. She never imagined she would end up back in her sleepy New Hampshire hometown, living in the house she grew up in, and taking over her father's beekeeping business.

Lily Campanello is familiar with do-overs, too. When she and her mom relocate to Adams, New Hampshire, for her final year of high school, they both hope it will be a fresh start.

And for just a short while, these new beginnings are exactly what Olivia and Lily need. Their paths cross when Asher falls for the new girl in school, and Lily can’t help but fall for him, too. With Ash, she feels happy for the first time. Yet at times, she wonders if she can she trust him completely . . .

Then one day, Olivia receives a phone call: Lily is dead, and Asher is being questioned by the police. Olivia is adamant that her son is innocent. But she would be lying if she didn’t acknowledge the flashes of his father’s temper in him, and as the case against him unfolds, she realizes he’s hidden more than he’s shared with her.

*Mad Honey* is a riveting novel of suspense, an unforgettable love story, and a moving and powerful exploration of the secrets we keep and the risks we take in order to become ourselves.

Casual Reader's Book Club:  Mad Honey by Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan

Calling all animal lovers. We have booked an exclusive-to-FFF>50 tour at Animal Tracks Sanctuary in Agua Dulce, an approximate 45-minute drive from most parts of LA. They are literally closing their doors just for our visit!

Animal Tracks is a Sanctuary and forever home for exotic mammals, most of which come from the illegal pet trade. The 90-minute VIP tour will include animals from five continents. You'll feed horses and donkeys, and watch armadillos, monkeys, and other animals at close-up range. Plus you'll learn about the inhabitants, their care, and the global threats that jeopardize their existence.

The cost is just $25 per person (that's 50% discount just for FFF members!), and every penny of that goes to the care of the animals, so you're not just having a good time—you're supporting an important cause.

**Payment is due when you sign up to attend. Please don't RSVP without paying, as those who haven't paid will be removed from the attendee list. There will be no refunds since your payment is a donation to their nonprofit.**

I am collecting the funds on their behalf. Please use these credentials to submit your $25 fee.
