May

On May 17, 2025 Linda Turner Felix and Sharon Laney had the pleasure of hosting Tabahani Book Circle. The genre for the month of May was non-fiction Health and Wellness. The hostesses asked Tabahani members to meet them at 5:00pm to discuss Before You Climb Any Higher by Johnathan Mcreynolds.

The members were asked to dress casual, bring a yoga mat, a small pillow, and a light blanket.  For our service project the host requested gift cards from Costco,  Smart and Final,  Walmart, and Sam’s Club.  All the gift cards were donated to New Life Beginnings.

The meeting began with members participating in a Sound Bath provided by Beauty4AshesSoundSanctuary. (Instagram) She explained why resting is important and how to breathe correctly. We were provided a moment of restorative rest through the use of her healing sound bowls.

After the Sound Bath members had the option to dine outside or inside. The meal consisted of teriyaki chicken, rice, Chinese chicken salad, and for dessert Paradise Cake.

In addition to the Sound Bath, we had members record themselves with their cell phones, repeating the Affirmations.

Each member before they left was given a journal, sticker book, pen, and affirmations from the book. Two book club members won a small sound bowl to use at home.
