    To experience the Divine is to feel at One with the Allness of life, love, and wisdom. This is the true purpose of affirmative prayer, and it lights the spark of divinity within each of us. This illumination helps us remember and express our inherent qualities – peace, joy, and light.

    Joyfully, this experience is available to each of us! How? Join your Prayer Chaplains in a seven-week deep dive into the understanding and experience of affirmative prayer. Inspired by Discover Your Divinity, Come Apart for Awhile, and How to Pray without Talking to God, this is an opportunity to enrich and deepen your personal prayer practice, whether you are new to or a seasoned practitioner of affirmative prayer. There may be opportunities for in-person prayer practice.

  • Blindfold to Freedom

    At the UPA Fireside Room Middlefield Road, Palo Alto, CA, United States

    What happens when you sing without seeing?

    Most people sing with the breaks on. Why? Because life teaches us to hold back, to wait until we’re “ready,” to shrink when we feel exposed.

    This is a voice class where none of that follows you in. One where a blindfold does something surprisingly simple: it takes away the noise, even if that noise is just in your own head. And when that happens, you will let go.

    Margo LeDuc is a 20-year industry veteran, known for her unique approaches to vocal technique that deliver results. Spots are intentionally limited so everyone gets real attention.

    At the UPA Fireside Room Middlefield Road, Palo Alto, CA, United States

    Margo LeDuc will teach us her song “Walking for Love,” which grew out of a simple idea: we can choose LOVE, even when the world feels divided and heavy. She’ll start with a few singing tips, then we’ll learn the song together so we can share it as a group at UPA Day the following week! This is part of a larger plan Margo has to lead a large group from all over the Bay Area across the Golden Gate Bridge, showing unity and singing the song.

    On UPA Day, we'll sing the song and walk across our own bridge!
