Sanctuary

In 2012 National Geographic's Dan Buettner began searching for, and writing about, several places where people seemed to live longer than anywhere else in the world. These regions were nicknamed "Blue Zones." Buettner has since come to believe there to be nine characteristics these communities share. He is also of the opinion that other groups might be able to reap the benefits of longevity if these characteristics are adopted. Come learn about these communities, what they are doing to extend life, and how houses of worship like NSUC might be the perfect kinds of places to turn Blue. Presenter is Rev. Russell Elleven, a new NSUC member.

Men's group meeting. At this time the group is closed and is not seeking new members.

Mindfulness meditation and instruction by Zen priest Chuck Hutchcraft, who is a therapist at Glencoe Family Service and Counseling Center of Grayslake. Chuck is affiliated with the Crooked River Zen Center, and is in training with Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach of the Insight Meditation Society. We will be using the Brahma Viharas of kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy and equanimity.

Closed meeting of the NSUC Leadership Team

Women Singing in Sacred Circle is starting April 11, 7:30 in the Hearth Room. From ancient times, women have gathered together for support, healing, and community. With this in mind, once a month, for about an hour, we will learn new chants and revisit old ones as we light candles, declare our intention, and send out healing energy for ourselves and the world. Please join me on Aprill 11 at 7:30 to begin this group. Please call Pat Hyams at (847) 254-9116, or just show up.
