32 | Sun lakeS lifeStyleS | JanuaRy 2016 | You may never have your photographs hanging in an art museum but you are guaranteed to have them seen when you bring them to the Sun Lakes Photo Group meetings. We get to share our pictures at each meeting, have a yearly exhibit in the club house and take field trips. For January you may bring your holiday shots or favorites to share with the group. Meetings are always on the second Monday of the month at 7 pm in the Main Clubhouse Multipurpose Room. The January meeting will also have a short tutorial on taking your photos from a simple cliché to a more creative master work. There is a projector system and photos can be brought on either a CD or a flash drive, sometimes known as a thumb drive. If you would like to see what members of the group have been doing there is an electronic display next to the Main Clubhouse lounge that has revolving photos. Some of our members had no idea which end of the camera was which when they first started and you will see that their progress is amazing. You will like attending the Sun Lakes Photo Group. Meetings are informal, there are no dues and whether you are a novice or a pro it is always fun to see what others are doing with their cameras. For information please call Steve Felber,769-6898. Photography We wonder about the purpose of life. What higher purpose than to discover our true nature? Meditation, an integral part of proceeding on a path of Self (God) – Realization promises to do just that. When the mind with its myriad thoughts becomes quiet and still, we can feel what lies beyond. The pure, non-dual (only one) consciousness lies beyond and is our true, undifferentiated and eternal being. Satsang (group meeting with a spiritual aim) begins with a 30 minute meditation (15 minute if new people are present) followed by a discourse and a short video presentation offered by a teacher adhering to the same teaching of non-duality. As always questions are warmly encouraged. We meet in the Main Clubhouse Multipurpose Room (next to the Library). Our weekly schedule is as follows: Wednesdays: 2:30 – 3:45 pm. (Note: On the fourth Wednesday of the month satsang starts at 3:30 pm) Sundays: 11 am to 12:30 pm. This is a free offering. My background includes 29 years of formal spiritual practice under the guidance of two masters and six years of teaching (four at Sun Lakes). You need not bring anything except an open mind. My name is Gina and I can be reached at gina-sat@msn. com or 846-1220 if you have further questions. Meditation: a pathway to truth Happy New Year to all our Karaoke friends!
