Spirit Flow Yoga or Soul Fired Yoga

Offered by Solfire Yoga teacher/owner Ellen Moe

Join in a yoga practice that provides you the opportunity to connect with your mind, body, spirit, and heart. Through breath, movement and music discover how yoga can be a tool to help you pray and be present with God and your Holy Spirit within. This yoga class may allow you to let go of things that trouble you, to release physical and emotional tension in the body, and to embrace a sense of peace, serenity and connection to your best self...the person God wants you to be. Please bring a mat and water and avoid eating anything other than a light snack before participating

     

Trans 101 

Bring your honest questions and your open mind and heart to this series of six facilitated presentations, addressing various aspects of the transgender experience in a spiritual setting.  We will explain terms, share stories, and together, come to an even deeper understanding of what it means for an institution, church, or group to be radically inclusive. The following topics are scheduled (but are subject to change) for the class: Let's start at the very beginning, The Episcopal Church's Response to transgender individuals, Parents and Friends, Gender Identity and Youth, Schools and Transgender Youth, Transgender Military life. Guest speakers and facilitators will change each week. Check the website (trinitycathedral.org/learn/thursday-night-cathedral) for updates on topics and/or presenters. 

 

E-Squared              Facilitator: Vaughn Wolff

"E-squared could best be described as a lab manual with simple experiments that prove reality is malleable, consciousness trumps matter, and you shape your life with your mind. Yes, you read that right. It says prove." From the back cover of E-squared, by Pam Grout, available in the Cathedral Bookshop. Drop-ins are welcome!
