READING GROUPS IN DIFFERENT LANGUAGES
¡Únete al grupo de lectura en español! Iniciamos el 11 de abril de 2023. Leeremos el libro, “Libérate, abandona tus temores y descubre el poder del ahora”, de Pema Chôdrôn. Nos reuniremos todos los martes de 6:30 a 7:45 pm hora de CDMX. Regístrate aquí.
Pema Chödrön nos enseña en este libro cómo deshacernos de los patrones destructivos y experimentar una nueva sensación de libertad y felicidad. Analizaremos cómo ciertos hábitos mentales tienden a “engancharnos” y a mantenernos atrapados en estados de enfado, culpa y odio, para luego poder afrontar los problemas y las dudas de una nueva manera.
If you would like to start a reading group in your own language, please contact outreach@tarastripleexcellence.org.
*ZOOM MEETING DETAILS
You can join the Zoom room by simply clicking the “click here” links that are provided above.
It has the password embedded in the link. Or, if you prefer, you can manually enter the Zoom room number and when prompted, enter the password.
Please check your Zoom application for updates—they happen frequently, improve the product, and sometimes Zoom won’t work properly unless you have the latest version.
If you haven’t already installed Zoom, then ahead of time, you will need to download the Zoom app, which is free. You can do this on your computer, or on any one of your other devices. Download the version you need here: https://zoom.us/download
You might want to check out the functions of Zoom ahead of time to figure out how to turn your camera on/off, your sound on/off, etc. Here’s a help page with a way to test it out:
https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115002262083-How-Do-I-Test-Prior-to-Joining-a-Meeting-
We will open the Zoom room a few minutes early, so people can get comfortable with all the bells and whistles of their Zoom app.
