I wanted to let you know that Bob Brown will be coming to the Battle Creek support group tonight, Tuesday at the Doris Claussen Developmental Center (408 Jamison) at 6pm. He's only going to speak for 15-20 minutes, unless there is a lot of interest and questions. If you'd like to come, you are more than welcome. They do provide childcare as well. They hold the childcare in the therapy room which is SOOO cool! The kids love it. Shannon Porter runs this group and her number for childcare is 269-964-2136 ext. 231.
For those of you not privy, I would like to start a meditation class for special needs people. If young children are involved, the parents would need to sit with their kids. It would be held at Community Inclusive Recreation Art Center in Battle Creek for one half hour, once a week. We are trying to figure out a good time that's best for all to meet. Weekday evenings? Weekends? Bob Brown runs a Buddhist meditation class Wed evenings in BC, however, this class has a non-theistic theme. People of all faiths can come to this and benefit from it. It is simply a tool that can be used for those that may need help calming their busy minds or to help them better focus. It may be good for some, and not for all, but worth a try.
You can check out his website at www.Sokukoji.org. If you are interested, please come to the BC support group tonight. Otherwise, you can call me at 269-665-4620 if you need more info. Bob's contact info is at his website.
Hope to see you tonight!
