Sarah Hoffman - Meditations

Sarah Hoffman was a well loved member of CUCC who died on September 5, 2003. A few years later in the Monday Lunch Group, Edith Sylla passed around some audio recordings made by Sarah as guided meditations. We include two of them here as a way of remembering and honoring Sarah for all she brought to CUCC and to the Monday Lunch Group in particular.
