4/11/12 - Lewis Richmond Reading today - Town Hall
Hi there
I'm not familiar with this writer but the event looks really interesting and I really like the positive approach to aging. Also, I really appreciate the Buddhist connection to this event as this spiritual practice tends to be more lgbtqi friendly than some others. (Keep in mind the lesbian Buddhist nun, Pema Chodron, who has wonderful books, as well as the fact that KD Lang is Buddhist).
Co-presented with the TOWN HALL CENTER FOR CIVIC LIFE, NORTHWEST CENTER FOR CREATIVE AGING, SHAMBHALA MEDITATION CENTER, SEATTLE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY AND MINISTRY, SAGE-ING GUILG, and NORTH EAST SEATTLE TOGETHER. Bay Area Zen Buddhist priest Lewis Richmond, whose Work as a Spiritual Practice and A Whole Life's Work, have long had constant readerships, visits with his already-popular new book, Aging as a Spiritual Practice: A Contemplative Guide to Growing Older and Wiser (Gotham Books). "Embedded as our culture is in the fantasy of control and management, our deepest distress rises from being separated from natural process and our inevitable failure to manage, even defeat, aging and mortality. Lewis Richmond offers a practical, step-by-step set of attitudes and practices that open the reader to philosophical maturation, a proactive engagement with the meaning of one's changing state, and our attainment of personal dignity through our shared journey into mystery." – James Hollis, Ph.D. $5 tickets are available at the door starting at 6:30 p.m., or in advance via www.brownpapertickets.com (1-800-838-3006). Town Hall Seattle is at 1119 Eighth Avenue (at Seneca). Preferred seating for Town Hall members. For more information on this evening, please call Elliott Bay at (206) 624-6600, Town Hall at (206) 652-4255, or see www.townhallseattle.org.
