Please review our COVID-19 Policies before attending
Please RSVP below
We start the year with a fresh, clear outlook on life. During the talk, you are encouraged to think about who you want to be in the coming year. Different from New Year’s Resolutions, this process is about discerning a spiritual value or word that you want to express more fully. You receive a white stone and are invited to write your word upon the stone and use it as a reminder of who you’ve come here to be.
Masks, proof of vaccination, and photo identification are required to attend in person. Click here to review our COVID-19 Policies

Write Your Story

An experience of writing your life stories

Stories, memories, tales of the past, call them what you will, memories matter. History paints a broad picture of world, national and local times and events but says little about the individuals who lived through those times. Memories are not experiences to be relived and constantly aired, but to be looked at learned from, and shared so the future may see how life used to be.
Each month this group comes together to develop writing skills, inspire each other, and share stories. A topic for writing is chosen by the group at the end of each session. Each session is group-facilitated.

A Season For Nonviolence
2022-01-30 13:00 - 15:00
The Season for Nonviolence marks the 64 days between the memorial anniversaries of Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. It was co-founded by Arun and Sunanda Gandhi and the Leadership Council of The Association for Global New Thought (AGNT) in 1998. We learn to practice nonviolence one step at a time, one choice at a time, one day at a time. Through our daily nonviolent choices and action, our noble and courageous spirits rise to move the world in the direction of peace.
Kick-off event on YouTube, 1/30 @ 1:00 pm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vA2aByNE-bs
Featuring: Michael Beckwith, Roger Feel, Shariff Abdullah, Deborah Johnson, Faith Rivera and Harold Payne.

Self-Acceptance as a Spiritual Practice
2022-02-16 18:15 - 19:15, 2022-02-23 18:15 - 19:15
Our second principle teaches us that we are divine beings. That each of us is a unique expression of the universe. It invites us to embrace the knowing of our oneness. From this knowing we unfold, we trust and are one with the process of life. When we hold thoughts of not enough, of unworthiness, or shame, we separate ourselves from our true nature. How can we live from our divinity if we are rejecting, disowning, or abandoning ourselves?
Join Casey Wicker for a 6-week exploration of self-acceptance as a spiritual practice. Together we will look at what self-acceptance means to us and discover tools to bring us back to our oneness when our thoughts create an illusion of being separate. Select chapters from the Book “The Self-Acceptance Project…” will be reviewed and discussed. Be kind and compassionate ~ YOU are the universe expressing itself, celebrating itself!
When: Wednesdays, 2/16 – 3/23
Time: 6:15 pm – 7:15 pm
Cost: Love Offering
Materials: Journal and “The Self-Acceptance Project: How to Be Kind & Compassionate Toward Yourself in Any Situation,” Ed. Tami Simon
Registration Closed.
