One of our facilitators, Anna Matheson, has been volunteering with inmates at the Buncombe County jail, teaching meditation. We are accepting donations of paperback books on behalf of the jail library. They are especially in need of books by Thay, or on mindfulness and meditation in general. Email for more info.
