Yoga is a practice that brings together the mind and body. In fact, yoga means “to yoke” or unite. It is an ancient healing practice that is both physical and spiritual, incorporating postures, breath, and meditation. Yoga heals! Yoga provides relief from numerous forms of trauma, anxiety, and physical stiffness. It also builds a strong physical and spiritual core.

Join us every Monday from 7-8 pm for a vinyasa flow that will strengthen and energize as well as promote flexibility and balance. We will also experience inner peace by the closing meditation called Shivasana. Please bring a mat and water bottle, and the class meets in the beautiful sanctuary. There is no registration required, and the cost per class is $10 or a food pantry donation (the pantry is located outside the center). Class will not meet on federal holidays. Venmo: Jennifer-Kurz-2.

Join us as we gather, just before midnight,
to celebrate the mystery of Christ’s birth,
to celebrate all the love and truth Jesus brought to this world,
and the mysterious way he continues to bring this love and truth to us after all these 2000+ years,
and to celebrate the birth and re-birth of God’s love
as we experience it, directly, in our own lives.

All are welcome!All faiths, all paths, all love!

The Spiritual Center cultivates a pluralistic, multi-faith, inclusive and love-centered community. We offer this Midnight Christ-Mass as a free offering to members, friends, neighbors, and strangers to our community. All are welcome, including people of all ages!
This service will be facilitated and co-led by center director Rev. Dr. Ian Mevorach and others in the community. The service will include readings of scripture, a very brief talk, meditation, burning of incense, song, and prayer. As we often do, we will gather in a circle and there will be space and time for open sharing of poems, prayers, songs, and words of wisdom from all who gather.
If you have something meaningful to share, like a song, a poem, or a prayer, please bring it with you in your heart and mind, and perhaps on a sheet of paper too if helpful 🙂

We look forward to celebrating together as a community at this special time!
