We had a delightful time at our September Tea with the Abbess gathering where we celebrated the Feast of the Archangels with an archangel meditation and movement video, looked at upcoming programs, and had a little Q&A chat.

Registration for our Sustainers Circle closes Saturday, September 30th. There are several levels of programming to choose from if you have the means to do so. Your support helps us create free offerings such as the Prayer Cycles and book club, and affords us the ability to offer scholarships and financial assistance to keep our offerings accessible.

Join Simon and me for the return of our Contemplative Prayer Service this Monday, October 2nd. Our theme is “The Breathing Together of All Things” and we are delighted to welcome special guest Spencer LaJoye who will share their music with us.
