Sacred Silence Meditation is a drop-in gathering that offers a gentle, intentional pause at the end of your week.
Join Dr. Holly Hopkins Shah on Thursdays to go into the silence. The 30-minute meditation begins at 7:30 pm (following 15 minutes of connection time at 7:15) and will include 20 minutes of silence. Open to anyone who wants to set down the noise of the week and rest in stillness for a while. Perfect for anyone who feels the pull toward the quiet or is curious about silent meditation vs. guided.
What to expect
– The evening begins with a few minutes of connection to help you release the busyness you carried in.
– From there, a brief reading rooted in universal spiritual principles settles the room before the group enters into shared silence together.
– This is not a guided meditation with prompts or instructions. The silence is open and spacious, giving you room to simply be present and allow your own awareness to deepen.
– The gathering closes with an affirmative prayer that brings a sense of grounded peace to carry with you into the rest of your evening.
If you have been feeling scattered, overstimulated, or disconnected from yourself, this is a space designed with you in mind!

There’s a reason a song can change your whole mood in 30 seconds. In this 30-minute Song & Sound Meditation, we lean all the way into that.
Margo LeDuc will guide the room through a set of communal chants, where the vibrations of voice and sound work together to reduce stress, ease anxiety, and settle you into a real sense of peace and balance. The outside world falls away, and for 45 minutes you just bathe in the healing power of collective sound. The kind of reset that only sound can give you.

Bench Yoga & Meditation
2029-03-11 11:30 - 12:00 | At the UPA Fireside Room, Middlefield Road, Palo Alto, CA, 94306, United States
Looking for a new way to meditate or start your meditation practice? Bench Yoga & Meditation is a 30-minute workshop with author and teacher Eric Armstrong, offered on Sunday, April 12 from 11:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
This session focuses on energy flow and consciousness, and is open to anyone looking for a practical, accessible way to settle the body, quiet the mind, and connect to an energy that feels larger than everyday life.
The session opens with a short bench yoga practice designed to help the body release tension and prepare for stillness. Chairs work just as well as a bench, so there is no special equipment required.
After the movement practice, Eric leads a guided meditation drawing from traditional techniques as well as practices he has developed and refined through thirty years of personal study and daily use. The format is gentle, welcoming, and designed to work for people at any stage of their practice.
Whether you are new to yoga or looking for a fresh routine, you’ll leave feeling renewed and ready.
Continuing your practice
The yoga and meditation taught in this class are designed as a template that participants can return to on their own, at home, at their own pace.
Every attendee will leave with two practical tools: a meditation calendar for tracking a regular practice over time, and a six-day practice chart with space to fill in as new techniques are learned.
This event is open to everyone. A suggested donation of $10 is welcome but not required. No registration is needed. Just come.
What to Bring:
– Wear loose, comfortable pants (a long flowy skirt would be okay too)
– Shoes that are easy to take on and off
– A yoga mat if you prefer sitting on the floor rather than a bench or chair
– A meditation cushion (if you have one)
– A pen and something to write on (note-taking is encouraged)

The Singing Collective
2029-03-07 19:00 - 20:00 | At the UPA Fireside Room, Middlefield Road, Palo Alto, CA, 94306, United States
The Singing Collective is a new monthly event for anyone who has ever belted out a song in the car, jumped in when the chorus hits at a concert, or gone all in at a wedding (or UPA) when “We Are Family” comes on.
This is an hour of collective singing as a group to songs you already know, and some you don’t! Think road trip playlist, group karaoke, family party.
Our goal – a feel-good night where change our own vibration and the vibration of the world through song. And who doesn’t need that on a Wednesday night!
Margo LeDuc, pro singer and vocal coach, leads the room and shares a few easy vocal tips along the way, so you’ll also leave feeling more confident in your singing!
All music will be family-friendly, so bring the whole crew!
If you want to keep the vibe going, join us for karaoke the following Friday.
Sign up to let us know you’re coming, or just show up!
