PEACE IS EVERY STEP

Summer Book Club & Peace Sangha

Join us for a nourishing three-month journey through Peace Is Every Step by Thich Nhat Hanh—an invitation to awaken mindfulness in everyday life. Through heartfelt reflection, spiritual discussion, and shared practice, we’ll explore how peace can be cultivated in every breath, step, and moment.

Each session includes guided meditation, discussion prompts, community sharing, and gentle integration practices.
