VSDC Book Club discusses “The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating” (online)
Online event
Please join the Veg Society of DC Book Club discussion of “The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating” by Elisabeth Tova Bailey. This meeting will take place online, via zoom.
When “illness keeps her debilitated and bedridden, a friend brings Bailey a cheerful pot of wild violets and with it an unassuming woodland snail. She immediately feels a sense of kinship with the snail … and she soon loses (or perhaps the more appropriate word is finds) herself in the creature’s tentative forays …” — Orion Magazine
To participate you must read at least half the book — and RSVP at least two days before the meeting. People who RSVP yes will get the details to join the discussion (the weekend before the meeting). The details will not be posted on meetup.
The VSDC Book Club began meeting online in March 2020 (previously we met in vegetarian restaurants in DC or nearby Maryland or Virginia). We read fiction and nonfiction in alternating months, about any topic. For more information (including everything we have read over 30+ years!) visit: [https://vsdc.org/Book-Club](https://vsdc.org/Book-Club)
Or contact Beth through meet up: [http://www.meetup.com/vegan-28/message/?recipientId=1642817](http://www.meetup.com/vegan-28/message/?recipientId=1642817)

Vegan Meditation
Online event
Please join us online for a peaceful half-hour of vegan-oriented meditation and mindful sharing offered by [meetup.com/mindfulvegans](https://www.meetup.com/mindfulvegans) group based in California led by Dave Simon.
We’ll meditate together in silence for 15 minutes, then share brief thoughts on a topic related to compassion, mindfulness or veganism. Our aim through this practice is to cultivate greater internal peace and presence, and to bring greater mindfulness and compassion to our interactions with the external world and all its inhabitants.
Please note that while our route to mindfulness and compassion generally follows a vegan path, all are welcome – vegan, vegan-curious, and vegan-supportive.
**Please note these important details:**
* As a security precaution, you must be signed in to a Zoom account to join the meeting. Zoom accounts are free at [https://www.zoom.us](https://www.zoom.us/) (click signup) and you’ll need to log in there BEFORE joining the meditation. If this is your first time, please register at that link in advance because doing so takes a few minutes.
* Please use a computer or tablet, as some Zoom features don’t work on a phone, and phones in general don’t work well for our Zoom Meetups.
* Talking during the discussion is completely optional, but to help reduce trolling we ask that all participants keep their webcams on (and stay on webcam) during the entire session.
* Meditation begins promptly on the hour, so please arrive on time. When you enter, you’ll see a meditation timer counting down from 15 minutes – that’s your cue to begin meditating silently (or listen to your own guided meditation). We don’t provide meditation instruction, but the basics are easy to learn through various online resources such as those [here](https://www.mindful.org/how-to-meditate/) and [here](https://www.wikihow.com/Meditate).
* While we officially end at the half-hour mark, depending on the number of people sharing, we may run later. If that happens, please feel free to stay or leave any time after the half-hour mark as you choose.
* The Zoom link will be displayed on the Meetup event page after you RSVP. We’ll also send the Zoom link and discussion topic in a reminder email the day of the event. If you’d like to receive this reminder email, please keep your Meetup notification settings [turned on](https://www.meetup.com/account/comm/).
