NEW BOOK CLUB: MINDFUL MONDAYS AT THE LIBRARY
The public is invited to join a new book club which will meet at the Irvin L. Young Memorial Library every 4th Monday of the month. Mindful Monday is a book club for conscious living led by Lori Frison and Denise Maple. The first meeting will be held on Monday, January 23 at 6:00-7:30 p.m. in the library’s community room. This will be an introduction to the book club and the first book selection, which will be available for checkout. Each month, the book club will host a discussion and mindfulness practice.
As one of the facilitators, Denise Maple says, “The practice of mindfulness has changed my life. I am more centered, calm, present, intuitive, and loving as a result. I want to share what I have learned with others, as well as learn more and deepen my practice through book study and learning from others.”
Through Live Life Spiritual Direction, Denise Maple is a holistic business coach, featured speaker, Reiki Master, and spiritual counselor. Trained and licensed as a spiritual practitioner through the Centers for Spiritual Living, she helps her clients to live the song of their soul by guiding them to identify and overcome false beliefs about themselves and the world and pursue and achieve their dreams. She has been studying, teaching, and practicing mindfulness for over a decade and loves sharing its benefits.
Lori Frison M.S. LPC is a certified Relationship and Love Coach. She guides individuals to experience greater levels of love in life, both with others and within themselves. Lori is the creator of the Redefining Love coaching program and regularly speaks on the topic of relationship health. Lori is also a licensed mental health therapist in private practice in Whitewater, WI where she has assisted hundreds of people to end painful relationship patterns and feel confident in their ability to stay calm, speak their truth, and set healthy limits with others. Lori’s work and personal interest led her to fall in love with the practice of mindfulness meditation as a path to cultivate greater well-being. Lori has taught mindfulness to many in South Central Wisconsin through groups and workshops over the past decade. She is also a trained yoga instructor with a passion for connecting others to their innate ability to heal, grow, and thrive through the simple powers of breath and awareness.
