Sunday

Katha Upanishad (evening, Tim and Karen Smith's home) This class continues to work on the Katha Upanishad, which deals with death and what survives death. We are just beginning part 2 which resembles Paul Brunton's The Quest of the Overself in many aspects as a more directly practical means of verifying the teachings presented in the first half. Every third week we will begin to touch upon the beautiful verses of The Bhagavad Gita. Our starting time alternates every other week, and the gathering includes meditation sessions, plus a dish-to-pass supper every other week. To confirm starting time and evening's focus contact Kira at kiralallas@yahoo.com.

Orpheus (meets twice a month) This class is studying the myths of Orpheus using Rilke's Sonnets to Orpheus as a framework. We've just completed reading the first part of the sonnets. As we approach the second part we're exploring ideas in the various myths about Orpheus.
