December 21, 2025: Cultivating Sanctuary Within

More Details Live Stream or in person!

We often think about sanctuary as a place or an act of providing protection, but there is also power in being able to create a sense of peace, safety and sanctuary in our own spirits. How can this practice help us find rootedness and peace amid tumult and uncertainty?

December 21, 2025 - 6pm: Winter Solstice

More Details Live Stream or in person!

Winter is a time for slowing down and for resting, for taking stock and for envisioning what we want to bring to life when the wheel turns once more to springtime. We take time on the shortest day to notice the changing season and how it resonates in our bodies and in our lives. This special meditative service features candlelight, a contemplative spiral walk, and special music from Kim Carballo and Mary Craig.
