Shree Yoga Book Club Meeting: Our Missing Hearts by Celeste Ng
Sunday, April 28, 3:30~5:30 pm In-person at Shree
Read the book, bring a cup of tea and come sit with the Shree community. All are welcome! Free.
Twelve-year-old Bird Gardner lives a quiet existence with his loving father, a former linguist who now shelves books in a university library. His mother Margaret, a Chinese American poet, left without a trace when he was nine years old. He doesn’t know what happened to her—only that her books have been banned—and he resents that she cared more about her work than about him.
Then one day, Bird receives a mysterious letter containing only a cryptic drawing, and soon he is pulled into a quest to find her. His journey will take him back to the many folktales she poured into his head as a child, through the ranks of an underground network of heroic librarians, and finally to New York City, where he will finally learn the truth about what happened to his mother, and what the future holds for them both.
Our Missing Hearts is an old story made new, of the ways supposedly civilized communities can ignore the most searing injustice. It’s about the lessons and legacies we pass on to our children, and the power of art to create change.

Shree Yoga Book Club Meeting: The Salt Path by Raynor Winn
Sunday, June 2, 3:30~5:30 pm In-person at Shree
Read the book, bring a cup of tea and come sit with the Shree community. All are welcome! Free.
The true story of a couple who lost everything and embarked on a transformative journey walking the South West Coast Path in England.
Just days after Raynor Winn learns that Moth, her husband of thirty-two years, is terminally ill, their house and farm are taken away, along with their livelihood. With nothing left and little time, they make the brave and impulsive decision to walk the 630 miles of the sea-swept South West Coast Path, from Somerset to Dorset, through Devon and Cornwall.
Carrying only the essentials for survival on their backs, they live wild in the ancient, weathered landscape of cliffs, sea, and sky. Yet through every step, every encounter, and every test along the way, their walk becomes a remarkable and life-affirming journey. Powerfully written and unflinchingly honest, The Salt Path is ultimately a portrayal of home—how it can be lost, rebuilt, and rediscovered in the most unexpected ways.

- A Loving-Kindness practice to begin the reframing process
- Self-kindness in an exploration of the body
- The physiological benefits of touch and how it can relieve a moment of self-criticism or stress

- An exploration of our values to know ourselves and give ourselves what we need
- A meditation practice of breathing with kindness and self-love

- Self-appreciation through a letter of kindness to ourselves
All levels of meditation experience are welcome. Please bring a yoga mat, journal and pen.
