Meditate, breathe, and read your way to radical resilience. This 90-minute gathering blends gentle asana, deep breathwork, meditation, and reflective dialogue inspired by Practicing Peace in Times of War by Pema Chödrön.

Together, we’ll explore how the teachings in this powerful text invite us to meet conflict—both inner and outer—with compassion, mindfulness, and courage. Through grounding practices and open-hearted conversation, we’ll reflect on what it means to embody peace in challenging times and to live these teachings in our daily lives.

This is more than a book discussion; it’s a shared practice of awakening and self-study within our Serendipity CommUNITY. 

You are invited to come dressed comfortably, bring your yoga mat, and wear anything that helps you feel comfortable when seated. Plan to bring a sweater or a wrap to keep yourself warm. Chairs will be available for those who prefer. 

Please come having read the book in its entirety. Your investment includes a copy of Practicing Peace in Times of War. Books will be purchased through Bookies in Chicago. You may pick up your copy in the studio after you have registered for this event. Reflection questions will be made available the week of the event. 

Please note that no refunds will be provided. If you need to cancel, your credit may be applied toward a future event at the studio. However, if you do not cancel and do not attend, your credit will be forfeited.
