SEW Book Club July/Aug selections + TV show!

http://images.contentreserve.com/ImageType-100/0355-1/%7BC2BDCAA1-ACD4-4EBD-97A7-49FF43880234%7DImg100.jpgThe Spirituality, Empowerment and Wellness Bookclub will have it's regular meeting on July 11 (due to the holiday) at 11am, @ River Read Books in downtown Binghamton.

Our selection will be Mutant Message Down Under, by Marlo Morgan.

Booklist review: In this fictionalized version of actual events, Morgan believed she was being taken to an awards luncheon for her work with urban Aborigines when she climbed into a jeep and headed out of town. Hours later, she found herself at the edge of Australia's outback watching her possessions go up in flames. Her guides, telepathic and spiritually advanced descendants of a 50,000-year-old tradition, call themselves the "real people" and refer to Westerners as "mutants." Morgan's trek across the heart of Australia involved a series of increasingly revelatory and even miraculous occurrences. This demanding journey transformed Morgan's work as a healer into that of a messenger with a message many are eager to hear.

The image Also join us for a special meeting on July 25, also at 11am, at River Read Books, where we we will be discussing the book:

"Mindful Way through Depression: Freeing Yourself from Chronic Unhappiness", by Mark Williams and Jon Kabat Zinn. This inexpensive book includes a free CD with guided meditations.

These two authors are featured in my current show on Public Access TV, Time Warner ch. 4, Fridays @ 10pm and Saturdays at 6pm.

In the TV show and in the book, discover how these researchers have found this 2,500 year old meditation technique has been shown to be the most effective cure for chronic unhappiness, better than any drug.
