DHARMA OF THE PRINCESS BRIDE
~ By Ethan Nichtern
Friendship. Romance. Family. These are the three areas Nichtern delves into, taking as departure points the indelible characters—Westley, Fezzik, Vizzini, Count Rugen, and Princess Buttercup—as he also draws lessons from his own life and his work as a meditation teacher.

Sometimes big help happens in a quiet way, behind the scenes. Patti Pandya literally worked behind the scenes — or rather, “behind the curtain” off the kitchen — when she helped tackle re-organizing the storage where we keep supplies for our Spiritual Programs. With Patti’s cheerful help, the supplies have been consolidated, the space better organized, and there’s room to breathe! Many thanks, Patti!
