SUMMARY:Ten Percent More Engaged (Monthly BCD Group)
DESCRIPTION:BCD offers a monthly gathering for those who want to engage in mindful reflection and find practical ways to be more involved in making change happen. \nOur gatherings take place on the third Wednesday of each month from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. EST. \nWe start with a meditation\, after which we briefly share what came up for us. The bulk of the meeting is devoted to exploring ways in which we can be more involved and effective in reaching out and making change happen… in a way that is realistic and productive. \nA concrete example of the types of discussion we have is: How we can use social media more effectively individually and as a group. \nWe conduct our gatherings in a respectful\, supportive space that embodies our aspiration for mindfulness and democracy in action. \nThe gatherings are facilitated by Serge Prengel. \nTo register and receive monthly reminders of meetings\, click here: https://tinyurl.com/bcdengaged
