July 13New Church New Era”: A discussion of what we witnessed and gleaned from the UU General Assembly (GA), (which is happening June 25-29 in Rhode Island) with Sue Stukey and Rev. M’ellen Kennedy. GA this year is replete with programs on new ways of doing church. Sue and M’ellen plan to go to as many as they can and return to Washington with some stories to share and some gems. We hope You’ll join us and add to this your own dreams for building vibrant spiritual community.

July 20“Eastern Spiritual Practices for Well-Being: Wheels of Vibration in A Subtle Energy Body – Introduction to Chakras”  A basic understanding of Hinduism, Yoga, and Ayurveda is that a field of energy invisible to most, surrounds and infuses each of us and all beings. Our individual vibrational fields interact with the fields of those around us and ultimately reflects the state of our spiritual development and well-being. The chakras are wheels or vortices of particular focus and movement which we can consciously influence. You’re welcome to join us in expanding our Western-trained minds to consider these teachings and experiment with meditations for grounding and clearing subtle, but sometimes palpable, energies. This session will be guided by Laelia Tawnamaia, UU Minister in Community and student of Eastern spiritualities.
