Please RSVP for the special Tuesday activities
Tuesday, June 23 @ 6:30pm to 8:00
Introduction to Mindfulness
The simplest definition of "mindfulness" is "being present, right in this moment." The rest is a long-term training of the heart-mind. Rev. Michael will lead a short introduction to three basic mindfulness practices: centered breathing (pranayama), centering prayer (mantra), and mindful self-observation (journaling). For more information/RSVP: Rev. Michael; $10 suggested donation (donations help to provide supplies for other activities).
Tuesday, June 30 @ 6:30pm to 8:00
Mindful Eye (Ikebana)
While an "Ikebana master" would likely take issue with the use of the word, this workshop will bring a mindful eye to the collection and arrangement of materials into a floral/environmental display. We will take a mindfulness walk on campus, gather elements, and make our arrangement. For more information on what to bring/RSVP: Rev. Michael; $10 suggested donation (donations help to provide supplies for other activities).
Tuesday, July 7 @ 6:30pm to 8:00
Mindfully Still (Restorative Yoga)
This meditative evening is a supported practice of stillness (not movement); no yoga experience is necessary. The sequence will be "on the floor" with blankets and bolsters; participants will be invited to "rest and release." For more information or to RSVP: Rev. Michael; $10 suggested donation (donations help to provide supplies for other activities).
Tuesdays, July 21 & Aug18 @ 6:30pm to 8:30
Table Talk @ the Harrisons'
Table Talk will continue to meet all summer! This "gathering" (not a "group") consists of whoever "shows up;" sometimes we all fit around one table, often we are at two. We share a meal (there's always plenty of food), but the open and safe discussion is what nourishes us deeply. Bring your questions and theological musings (and a dish to share, if you are able). Contact Rev. Michael for more information.
Tuesday, August 11 @ 6:30pm to 8:00
Soap Making
Join us for a family fun event of soap making, hosted by Bob Watson. This will be a great time to relax, learn something new, and fellowship with others. For more information or to RSVP: Rev. Michael; $10 suggested donation (donations help to provide supplies for other activities).
