Current Events

May 16, 2013 Dr. Sandy Frazer, a doctor of naturopathy and meditation student, will speak on "Insights From '12 Steps to a Compassionate Life,'" a book by Karen Armstrong, at the Emerald Coast Meditation Society May 16.

The meeting will start with a 30-minute meditation at 6:30 p.m. at 480 N. Co. Hwy. 393, Santa Rosa Beach, one-half mile north of Hwy. 98. The ECMS is ecumenical and does not follow any religion. There is no charge.

Frazer says she first became aware of Armstrong when she discovered her 1993 bestselling "A History of God: The 4,000-Year Quest of Judaism, Christianity and Islam." Armstrong is a former Catholic nun who has written many books on religious topics, including the recent "Buddha."

A member of the Baha'i faith for 19 years, Frazer was drawn to the "12 Steps" book in which Armstrong shares her desire for the revival of "The Golden Rule," one of the commonalities within all major world religions. The Baha'i faith encourages finding and strengthening such commonalities.

Frazer holds a doctor of naturopathy degree from Clayton College as well as a master's in administrative science from Johns Hopkins and a bachelor's degree in health education from the University of Toledo.
