This week I am pleased to introduce my guest Maxine Lyons, MS, who was a professional educator with older adults for most of her 30+ year career, facilitating groups in northern CA and in the Boston area for diverse ethnic and faith groups. For the past years, she has been actively involved in CMM as a board member and Co-chair of the RUAH Interfaith Spirituality Program Committee, and acting as "spiritual accompaniment" with homeless individuals through several Boston-area organizations. She is a member of Temple Beth Zion in Brookline and participates in adult learning there, and she has been an active member for years in a Buddhist Meditation group (Boston Old Path Sangha, followers of Thich Nhat Hahn).
In many of these activities, she finds that interfaith work enriches her life and expands her world view as well as reflecting her Jewish roots and tradition in countless ways.
She has been happily married to Len Lyons for 40+years, (a writer and jazz pianist and teacher of jazz history), and mother of two wonderful and creative children.
