Circle on Personal Well-Being

All ages are invited to the Library’s first Circle on Personal Well-being, where you can be gently guided toward figuring it out for yourself . . .and what actions you can take to move your own sense of wellbeing to a calmer, more satisfying place. In Circle, where everyone is invited to speak, you might become curious and ask yourself: 

• What does your felt sense of well-being depend on?
• What do you want more of?  Less of?
• Why is progress so slow sometimes and slippage so real? 

 You may share your thoughts about all this with others in the circle, but you don’t have to. You do have to know how to listen deeply, without commenting or judging.  It’s an acquired skill. Council is good practice. Each session will include ample time for Q&A and the all-important social engagement. 

The facilitator for this lively 3-week session is Reedlands resident Marilynn Preston, the award-winning journalist and author of the best-selling All is Well: The Art {and Science} of Personal Well Being. (The Covid edition).

Marilynn created America’s longest-running nationally syndicated fitness and wellness column, Energy Express, and wrote it weekly for 43 years. She notes "personal well-being is entirely personal. Figuring it out for yourself is mandatory.  It’s a path. Start young and die happy.  Think about it: If you don’t do it for yourself,  who will?"

 Join the Library’s first Circle on Personal Well-being, gathering for three weeks in a row  —March 22, March 29, April 5. The circle will start at 10:30 am and end as close to noon as reality allows.
