Do you long for a mid-week opportunity to nourish your spirit and tend to your inner world? Do you wish we had more opportunities to sing together or chant or be in silence? Is there a part in you that would love a ritual in which you could place a stone or light a candle for all the burdens and blessings of your heart?
Dr. Baker and Rev. Wendy are creating a time to be together that centers music, silence, poetry, and ritual on the first and third Wednesday of each month at 6:30pm in the Chapel.

Event Details
Do you long for a mid-week opportunity to nourish your spirit and tend to your inner world? Do you wish we had more opportunities to sing together or chant or be in silence? Is there a part in you that would love a ritual in which you could place a stone or light a candle for all the burdens and blessings of your heart?
Dr. Baker and Rev. Wendy are creating a time to be together that centers music, silence, poetry, and ritual on the first and third Wednesday of each month at 6:30pm in the Chapel.
