Upcoming events

    • September 14, 2010

    • The Gathering Space
    Sacred Circle logo.JPGSacred Circle is a time set apart from our busy world to connect to self, spirit and community. Barbara Outland and Peggy Siegel have designed a structured format which includes short readings such as poetry and stories, music, guided meditations and silence. Each month has an underlying theme such as gratitude, slowing down, being present or loving kindness.
     
    The intent of Sacred Circle is to create an opportunity to allow the mind and body to settle. The hope is that this time together, in an atmosphere of quiet and openheartedness, will inspire and support each of us as we move toward a life of wholeness and peace. Sacred Circle is an interspiritual practice and open to all.
